Why use H5P?

H5P creates interactive and engaging online content that can be shared via Moodle as well as on other websites and by weblink. With only having to use a browser, faculty can make interactive videos and create presentations with keywords, images, video clips and audio to engage students.

Content can be made into a game for a lesson or homework that students can complete with levels and different tasks that are associated with the subject or learning outcome that is being taught.

Faculty can also create flashcards and question sets with H5P that can be useful for students to study and self-test themselves. [More Information]
