Roadmap
These are the goals for the H5P project:
- Attract a large worldwide community of skilled people who create, use and share H5P-libraries with each other
- Facilitate worldwide sharing of a large variety of HTML-based content and technologies
- Make it easy for content creators to deliver and publish HTML content on different CMS, LMS, LCMS and other frameworks
- Contribute to better HTML5 content by making it even easier to cooperate and reuse great web technology
Planned for next release
- Accessibility improvements
- Content type improvements
We're working on a public Jira board.
Upcoming major features Please note that this list is in random order and is not intended to be comprehensive. For most of these features, no timetable has been established for when the feature will be added. Some may appear in updates in the next few months while others may not be added for years. The time to implementation and priority order for each of these features depends on a number of variable factors, including code contributions from community members, available funding and staff resources The best way to ensure that a feature you care about is implemented quickly is to support it by contributing your time, skills, or financial resources to the project.
- In-place/inline editing (H5P.com)
- Contracts (instead of developers listing libraries that may be used in libraries.json on semantics.json they'll list contract(s) and all libraries implementing that contract may be used, for instance questiontypes will implement the questiontype 1.0 contract and Interactive Videos will support all libraries implementing the questiontype 1.0 contract)
- Add-ons (a library that adds to other libraries or contracts, for instance a skin for the CoursePresentation library)
- Backend evaluation of answers (H5P.com)
- Image resizing and cropping (H5P.com)
- Allow users to browse and reuse content from the H5P Hub without having to download and import activities as H5P files
- Media browser and/or media browser integrations
- Android, IOS and Windows apps for playing H5P files offline with xAPI support and other features..

Hi,
There is no centralized location for the accessibility support. This is a great idea, I will suggest a documentation page for this. I don't think its possible to say if accessibility is supported with an absolute value of Yes or No, but rather it is supported to varying degrees in the different content types.
The ones we've focused particularly on improving accessibility for is:

LTI Integration
First of all, as a newcomer to h5p I want to say how impressed I have been as I begin to explore the project. Like a number of others (https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/k12/blog/2016/04/06/free-interact...) I am excited to start using h5p interactives in my LMS (Canvas). Of course completion data is very important and that is why I want to offer my support for the inclusion of LTI in the roadmap. I am happy to see it there and hope that its development can happen as quickly as possible. In the meantime I am going to explore integrating the xapi support with Canvas Data and Analytics.
Thanks again for all your great work.

Background Image Size
Hi,
I want to make up my own background images that will fill the whole slide area. I have been trying to do this in PowerPoint first and then saving the slide as a .png image to import into H5P Course Presentation. Can someone tell me what size I would make it in cm?
If there is an easier way to do this I would be interested in knowing.
Thank you.

slide background
Doesn't matter if it's in cm, inches, or pixels, it just needs to be the following:
Image background should have a 2:1 width to height ratio to avoid stretching. High resolution images will display better on larger screens.
I use Adobe Photoshop to resize images.
Sure, H5P is a bit quircky, but for ease of use it's hard to beat. This is true rapid eLearning.

Hi Rudler,
Thank you. That works fine. Maybe you can answer another question for me. I have put together a 6-session course, and I would like to make it so that students cannot jump to say session 2 until they have completed Session 1, etc.
Maybe you can answer another question for me. I have put together a 6-session course, and I would like to make it so that students cannot jump to say session 2 until they have completed Session 1, etc. Each session builds on what is taught in the previous session.
I agree H5P is great; it just does not have all the bells and whistles of programs like Articulate Storyline. However, Storyline is expensive and does not seem to integrate that well with Drupal + Opigno LMS.

Canvas will be supported by H5P.com. You can go to H5P.com to learn more and sign up for updates.

los 5 pilares del modelo educativo
LOS 5 PILARES DEL MODELO EDUCATIVO
CON LAS QUE MÁS ME IDENTIFICO
QUE NO COMPARTO O COMPARTO MENOS
QUE NO ME QUEDAN CLARAS O ME PARECEN MAS CONFUSAS
-CON LA EQUIDAD E INCLUSION DE LOS ALUMNOS.
-LA TECNOLOGÍA E INNOVACIÓN PARA SER MÁS COMPETITIVO.
-EL PLANTEAMIENTO CURRICULAR QUE SE BASA EN EL RAZONAMIENTO Y NO EN LA MEMORIZACIÓN.
-LA FORMACIÓN CONTINUA.
-LA EDUCACION INTEGRAL PARA LA LIBERTAD Y LA CREATIVIDAD.
QUE CADA ESCUELA GENERE SU PROPIO RECURSO.
-COMO FUNCIONARA EL TEMA DE QUE LAS ESCUELAS TENDRAN RECURSO PROPIOS SI HOY EN DIA LOS PROGRAMAS DESTINADOS A LOS CENTROS ESCOLARES NO FUNCIONAN, POR FALTA DE RECURSOS, Y MUCHO MENOS LOS PADRES NO TIENEN LOS RECURSOS PARA SOSTENERLA.
- COMO IMPARTIR LA LENGUA MATERNA.
¿CUÁL DE LOS TRES GRUPOS DE RESPUESTAS ES EL MÁS ABUNDANTE?, ¿POR QUÉ?
ME IDENTIFICO CON LA PRIMERA FILA YA QUE SON LAS HERRAMIENTAS ACTUALES QUE MARCAN LOS CAMBIOS Y LOS AVANCES QUE REQUIERE LA SOCIEDAD PARA ENFRENTARSE AL MUNDO GLOBALIZADOR.
LOS CINCO PILARES O EJES QUE SUSTENTAN EL MODELO EDUCATIVO
- PLANTEAMIENTO CURRICULAR
- ESCUELA AL CENTRO
- FORMACIÓN Y DESARROLLO PROFESIONAL DOCENTE
- EQUIDAD E INCLUSIÓN
- GOBERNANZA DEL SISTEMA EDUCATIVO

Canvas Integration, Grade Sync, and Accessibility
Hello,
Here to inqiure about:
- Will there be some type of LTI integration for H5P for Canvas?
- If so, will there be the ability for H5P items to be used as gradeable content in terms of H5P having grade sync that can talk back to the Canvas gradebook?
- And lastly, regarding accessibility (https://h5p.org/documentation/installation/content-type-accessibility): are there any updates on the yellow and pink items becoming accessible?
Anyone who can give me some info on the above is truly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sound integration
Hello from France !
First of all, thanks a lot for your project : it's a wonderful tool !
Is there a possibility to integrate .mp3 sounds in all the activities which integrate pictures and text. It would be very usefull for language techers all around the world in drag and drop, fill in the blank, multiple/single choice, true/false, flash card and memory activities, not only for activities instructions (which can be very useful for students with reading or sight problems), but also to add pronounciation items in the activities. For instance :
- Drag and drop one sound to match it with one picture.
- Fill in the blank : sound /text option followed by a blank to to be filled in with written words.
- Multi/single choice + true/false : give a sound / text / picture option and give text/sound option for the choices.
- Flash-cards : Picture / sound option, text / sound option.
- Memory : sound / picture option.
I don't know if I'm clear in my explainations...please, let me know.
