Desirebale Features in Drag text content

Could you please include creation of a table where the text boxes could be placed?

Also was trying to modify the hyperlink feature by choosing pop up window instead of new window (default) setting but the settings restore back to default and the hyperlink does not open in a pop up window.

Noted! I think that link bug

Noted! I think that link bug will be fixed in the next release if I remember correctly. I know there is an issue for it with a quite high priority.

Only a selection of content

Only a selection of content types are available on H5P.org for people to try out H5P. If you set up your own WordPress, Drupal or Moodle site you may install the content types you like the best :)

We are currently finishing

We are currently finishing the development of a (free and open) Moodle course that demoonstrates every H5P content type, which also compares and contrasts to Moodle core activities/resoures, and plugins.

It's still a 'work in progress' - but more than 50% complete now, and by early 2019 will have at least one working example of each H5P content type !

Have a look at https://academy.elearningworld.org/course/view.php?id=10 bookmark it, and let us know what you think ?

H5P-demonstration in Moodle

Hi :-)

We've been changing things around a bit since that post because we will be launching a full "Moodle & H5P" course in the New Year. I will of course post details here once the outline is finlaised in the next week or so.

In the meantime, you can access some of the H5P content directly here:

Guess the animals Quiz Question Set

https://elearningworld.h5p.com/content/1290877974268084659

Without going into huge detail, this content is demonstraying how different H5P questions/quizzes can be formatted for embedding in Moodle, and delivered specifically via mobile device / Moodle mobile App.

You can also see some or our new movies on creating HP Interactive Movies:

Are you using h5p.org or using your own site to create content? You should be able to have multiple Drag and Drop questions inside a Quiz(Question Set), Course Presentation and Interactive Video.

why is 'identify the hotspot" type not included in course presentation?

There's no special reason. I guess there has not been I high demand for it. AFAIK, there are no current plans for adding Find The Hotspot to Course Presentation.

Identify the hotspot in course presentation

Two things that would be excellent are to have a find the hotspot and a timer in the Course Presentation content type.

Hi ranorby,I suggest that you

Hi ranorby,

I suggest that you post this in the Feature Request forum.

In order for your feature request to attract as much interest as possible make sure it follows the below guidelines:

It is clear from every perspective how the feature will work. We recommend describing the feature with one or more user stories, for instance “As an author, I want it to be possible to pick between different effects for the check answer animation so that the learner will see a variety of effects and also I can adapt the effects to my target audience(I’ll be using pink unicorns which works really well for both my target audience which are 4 year old girls and venture capitalists)”
If the feature can be illustrated with images or videos it always helps
Make it clear what content types this is relevant for, and or if this is a new content type

Make sure you post the feature in the Feature Request forum.

-BV

I'm sorry about the 'retry'

I'm sorry about the 'retry' option, it looks like the last version was released before this was implemented. The retry button should be available in the next version.

Which button is it you require? You must be a developer and fork the project on GitHub in order to change the code.

Wed, 03/29/2017 - 09:55

Hi!

I'd need a button that enables a basic URL redirection when the game ends. In other words, a button that takes you to another URL when pressed, as simple as that. Unfortunately I'm no developer, so I can't change the code... Thanks!!

Wed, 03/29/2017 - 10:27

Sounds like a neat feature

Sounds like a neat feature but if you don't plan to implement it yourself I suggest posting it in the Feature Requests forum, as that would make it more likely to be picked up by someone.

How to add a border around H5P element?

Hi,

I'm inserting my H5P content into a wordpress page. How do I get a border around it? When inserted into a word press LMS page, by placing a border around the H5P content, it helps the user know which controls to use. I've tried putting the item into an iframe and then specifying a border but that isn't working.

Thanks for the help!

Fri, 07/14/2017 - 06:08

Hi kelseyco,The easiest way

Hi kelseyco,

The easiest way is to use a PHP hook, to add your own CSS-file to the content type. Please visit the Visual Changes page for more details.

border around h5p content

I ended up creating a table row and then setting the width to 100% and giving it a border. I find this gives the content a nice wrapper on a page and displays well in all formats - computer/mobile.

But, I'll take a look at hte VC page too!

Thanks for the help!!

Mixing activities

is there anything that would allow me to create a sequence of activities, something like a question set, with "Next" button, where I could mix Video, True/False, Filling blank etc...

I think Course Presentation is a very good candidate for the activity that you want to create.

Content editing and other contributors?

Hi, I am wondering if I can allow someone else to edit the content I made? In other words, can two or more people be working on an exercise? How can I share?

Thanks, Jean

Fri, 05/25/2018 - 03:35

Hi Jean,Currently this is not

Hi Jean,

Currently this is not possible. Only the author can make changes to their content. Although they can download/upload your content to edit it.

There is a way to do exactly what you mentioned by using one of the 3 supported frameworks (Drupal, Moodle and Wordpress).
