Technical Information

H5P is an open source plugin that allows users to create interactive content, activities, or quiz questions. It can be added to many existing publishing systems like Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, WordPress, D2L Brightspace, and Drupal. Most of the time when you install these systems, the integration has been done and the plugin has been added, so you can directly use most of the objects, except a few, for example, Cornell Notes and Questionnaire objects need some technical settings in order to store learners’ input.

Users who do not use any of the publishing systems mentioned above have the option to create an account with H5P.com and create and save their objects on its server and embed the object links in any webpage.

For more information on technical requirements and how to get started, visit H5p.org.
