H5P Guides

Getting started

H5P is a plugin for existing publishing systems that enables the system to create interactive content like Interactive Videos, Presentations, Games, Quizzes and more!

Create and store H5P Content on H5P.com

Click here to get started

H5P.com offers features like:

Hosting
LMS support
Embed H5P content into any page
Access H5P content through a direct link (no LMS required)
Content and user management and more.

H5P is supported by any VLE with LTI support like Canvas, Brightspace and Blackboard

More integrations

H5P for programmers and self-hosters

H5P is also available for programmers and professional self-hosters as a plugin for the below publishing systems. The plugin has fewer features and no support included, but is fully customize-able for programmers and possible to host behind firewalls etc.

More plugins

Other things you might want to do:

Try out the H5P authoring tool
H5P empowers everyone to create, share and reuse interactive content. We've made a selection of interactive content types available for testing here on H5P.org.

Test drive the authoring tool

To get some guidance on creating H5P content, take a look at the tutorials in the content author guide.

Develop new content types
If you are a developer familiar with JavaScript and other related web technologies, we suggest you do the following:

Install a CMS and an H5P plugin for that CMS. Currently, the easiest way is to download Drupal and the H5P Drupal plugin. The Drupal plugin has some extra development features that the other plugins don't have.
Complete our "Hello world tutorial"
Look at the H5P examples
Get familiar with the developer guide
Create new libraries using your newly acquired H5P skills
Share your work here at H5P.org!

Improve existing H5P content types
The code for the H5P content types are shared on GitHub.

Designers and developers are encouraged to improve these content types by:

Setting up your H5P development environment using the installation and setup guide.
Downloading H5P libraries from the examples and download page or our GitHub repository.
Extending or modifying the library.
Sharing your improvements on our forum and submitting a pull request on GitHub!

Integrate H5P with a new platform

We've focused on the documentation for H5P content types and applications so far. We've started on docs for plugin creation as well.

Plain HTML within an LMS?

I'd like to use H5P modules within an LMS like Moodle, and I wonder if it's possible to just build a plain HTML page with the H5P functionality built in, then upload it as a standalone learning object within the LMS. Has anyone tried this? Would that approach limit the kinds of data it could send back to the gradebook?

Wed, 12/03/2014 - 20:34

It is possible to do that, but not at all easy

It shouldn't limit the data the H5P will send back to Moodle, but it won't be possible to automatically update the content and hence it won't be easy to add new features for instance the xAPI integration that is coming up. With xAPI a lot more data will be available for Moodle.

It isn't a catastrophic aproach, but I think we're better of if the resources for doing this is spent on either helping us finishing the Moodle integration for H5P or making an HTML export in H5P core(?) :)

Running hp5 on standard html website

Hi
Is it in any way posible to run hp5 on a standard html-website without using Wordpress, Drupal or similar CMS´s? Currently I´m just interested in using the Fill in the blanks quiz but when I download the source code, I do´nt see any html-files.

We will add HTML export to H5P in the future, currently it isn't possible to do this :/

Symfony

If I install all of your files in my symfony project what is the syntax for a new h5peditor ($h5peditor = new h5peditor(?,?,?,?,?); Can you give an example as this would fit other plain php environments. Secondly how would you call the object to access and then display your h5p content. I know it is early days but there is absolutely no docs - for this great product - well done guys.

Tue, 08/25/2015 - 10:02

We're going to re-write the

We're going to re-write the api that a publishing platform uses to interact with H5P to make it a lot easier to use H5P both in plain PHP projects and for existing publishing platforms not yet supported. When that is done we'll make a documentation for it. Currently there is a lot of back and forth between the H5P PHP libraries and the publishing platform integrations. We advice you to have a look at the Drupal or Wordpress integrations for examples.

Hello!

Did you find out a way to implement H5p to Symfony? I have been trying to do the same but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Jesus,

I'm on the core team, and I havn't heard about any integration with Spip yet.

A fallback option for you, to get some "H5P goodness" on your website, is to create it on h5p.org, and use the embed option.

LMS compatability

Will H5P be available for PowerLearning (formerly HaikuLearning)?

Thu, 12/29/2016 - 08:17

On the roadmap

Hi,

It's on the roadmap for h5p to get support for LTI (it looks like PowerLearning has LTI support).

When the LTI support is finished implemented, a PowerLearning/h5p integration would be easy to acheive.

Integration with Exelearning

I'd like to suggest the integration of H5P with eXelearning. Exelearning is a free, open source HTML5 editor for creating educative contents. Resources authored in eXelearning can be exported in several standard formats, like SCORM, ePub3, IMS, or as HTML5 self-contained web pages.

The combination of both tools would be a real boost for content authors worldwide.

Congratulations for this excellent tool. Keep up the good job!

Hi Carlos,

eXelearning seems like a great editor, bonus points for it being open source :)

If the eXelearning community thinks that H5P will be a good fit hopefully they could make a start at creating an integration as all the H5P code is open source as well.

HTML compatibility

I'm new to this option. WON-DE-FUL and clever optons (beyond the traditional exercises!), but as a user, more than a developer (well, I develop exercises for my classes), I would be super to download them as a html. So, if you eventually let us download as a html file, I'm sure it's going to become the BEST product on internet!

Contratulations!

Hi Mr C, and thank you for

Hi Mr C, and thank you for the kind words!

The H5P format is used for export because of the required dependencies. The easiest way to create an HTML export is to just save the embed URL in your browser(including resources). But be aware that things like results tracking won't work, also, you will not be able to import or modify the export again. You really need a program backend(local WordPress site or similar) to take full advantage of H5P.

Sat, 04/01/2017 - 13:05

Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the information! I like computing a lot, but I'm a neophyte in many aspects.... Question: if I installed that 'program backend' in my notebook, would it serve the purpose? Or (an idea) what about developing an app for personal computers? That woul be cool.
