Add a H5P activity into your Moodle course

H5P is an interactive tool available in Elon's Moodle installation. Instructors have the ability to create H5P interactive content within their Moodle course or on the H5P website. Examples of H5P content can be found in Elon's H5P Resource Library.

1.) In the top-left side of the header, click the green pencil icon to turn editing on

2.) Click the 'Add an activity or resource' link in the section of your Moodle course where you would like to build the H5P activity

3.) In the Activity Chooser, select 'Interactive Content' and then click 'Add'

4.) In the 'Editor' section, you will see the option to either create new content or to upload content you have created on the H5P website

• If you are unclear what each content type is, there is a blue "Details" button to the right of it. If you click this, you will be shown more information.

5.) If you are uploading content you have previously created on the H5P website, you will upload it into the section in the screen shot below.

• If you are creating new content, we highly recommend that you either visit the H5P website to learn more or you visit Elon's H5P Resource Library to see examples.

6.) Once you have created your H5P content, un-check the box 'Display action bar and frame', which is located in the 'Display Options' section

7.) Set the Grade

• Even if you set the maximum grade to 0, the activity will create a column in the course gradebook. You can manually hide that column from students. 

8.) Then, scroll to the bottom and click 'Save and Display'

• Your H5P interactive content has now been added to your Moodle course.
