Introduction to H5P
H5P is short for HTML5 Package and is a simple way to create and share rich and interactive web content. H5P is modular and consists of several content types and applications, specially designed for use in e-learning. H5P can be integrated with learning platforms and content management systems and allows teachers to create rich interactive content and students to experience them on laptops, tablets or smartphones. There are many content types useful for learning in H5P. Below are some of them.

Interactive video
Record a video from a lecture and add quizzes and in-depth information along the way. Students get a more engaging video experience. It’s super easy to add interactive tasks and no technical skills are required, you only need a browser. By adding extra explanations that students may choose to see in the videos you create differentiated learning. The top students may choose to see in-depth information about the subject, weaker students may choose to display extra explanations that the top students don’t need. Students who learn best by solving problems may choose to solve problems as they move along through the videos.

All Interactions you can use – an overview
Presentation
The presentation content type is useful for presenting a topic by using keywords, images, video clips and audio. You can combine all of these elements into a rich multimedia learning experience, and you can also add various quiz questions along the way. By combining images, visualizations, notes, and sound you engage the student in a way that makes many students learn more effectively. The notes help the student remember and friendly explanations using sound helps the student to understand.
Question set
Question sets are good for evaluating students and self-tests. Teachers can create a sequence of various quiz types such as multiple choice, drag and drop and fill in the blanks. All the question types will allow the student to check their answer, try again or see the solution. Question creators may also add feedback that is displayed depending on what answers the student gave. We will also add more adaptivity to the question sets later this year.
Flashcards
Flashcards are useful in many cases, for instance in learning new words and expressions. In language learning, flashcards can be used to display an image and the user is encouraged to type in the corresponding piece of text. H5P has been developed in close collaboration with ndla.no, Norway’s biggest e-learning site. ndla.no is aimed at providing teachers and students on the secondary school level (ages 15-18) with a complete digital learning framework with tailored learning content for courses such as maths, natural science, biology, English, physical education, social studies and many more.
