Video Gallery

Is there a way to build a video gallery such that when the thumbnails are clicked, the videos containing the embeded quizes are played. Normal video gallery plugins fetch videos directly from Youtube, so I doubt the videos will be contain the quizes.

Hi Sparkle,

This is possible but not exactly how you want it to look like. You can create a "Course Presentation", insert "Interactive Videos" then put a check on "Display a Button". This will not give you the thumbnails but you will have some sort of a video gallery with quizzes in it.

Is it possible to display the thumbnails in a grid so that when the images are clicked the h5p videos will be played?

Hi Sparkle,

Not at the moment, but I a suggest that you head over to the Feature Request forum and place tour suggestions there. Please be specific and give sample uses to have a better chance of it getting implemented.

Hi, much had been said about adding Math expressions quizzes. Will the developers work on that or there isn't any plan yet?

Hi sparkle,

This is not part of any immediate plans by the core but thanks a lot for contributing your ideas on how to make H5P better! We’re now working on something called the H5P supporter program allowing the H5P community to vote for and fund the top voted H5P features. Also there are developers in the community who every now and then works on a feature they find interesting or useful. In order for your feature request to attract as much interest as possible make sure it follows the below guidelines:

 

  1. 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 learners 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)”

  2. If the feature can be illustrated with images or videos it always helps

  3. 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.

Hi,I saw this page in Github: https://github.com/SteelWagstaff/h5p-latex/blob/master/h5p-latex.php

Is someone from your organization now working on the code for inserting latex in H5P?

Hi sparkle!

We even have basically finished it: https://github.com/h5p/h5p-math-display. It still needs testing and code review though before we will release it.

Cheers,

H, I had just discovered the volume control is working normally. I cannot adjust the volume of sound to differnt levels. The sound can either be on or off only.

Hi Sparkle,

You are correct the volume control or should I say on/off audio, does is not for controlling the volume but to enable/disable the audio. I suggest that you post a separate feature request for this for better traction.

I received a notification from H5P that writing math formulae with latex feature is out. This is very exciting! May I know how to insert latex? Is there any tutorial for that?

Hi sparkle,

Here are the release notes and this is the page for the instructions.

I had installed h5p for wordpress and upload the  file h5p-math-display-1.0.2.h5p into the library. After pasting latex in a quiz and preview, I still not seeing any math expression. What step had I missed?

Hi sparkle!

I have just installed the library on a fresh WordPress system, and it works like a charm. Things you could check:

  1. Is the library installed correctly (i.e. showing up on the library administration page)?
  2. Have you enclosed your LaTeX math notation properly? Just like LaTeX, we use the format \( ... \) and \[ ... \]  as described in our documentation (that you probably have visited for downloading the library).
  3. Are there any limitation to what your server can access on the web? Without further configuration, MathJax will be used for rendering math, and it's included using the MathJax content delivery network. You'd be able to notice such problems in the development console of your browser (console and network tab).

Best,
Oliver
