I request your permission to use interactive video content to be used in a research article of H5p.org. I will use the answer to this text for ethics committee permission. Kind regards

Hi nur53,

I'm sorry but the core will not unlock specific contents for specific users. You can check the getting started page for information on how you can use all the content types and use H5P for real.

Hi nur53!

I assume you want to host your video on h5p.org? There are no legal obligations, but I would not. This site is intended for testing the software H5P before installing it on your own server. It's not meant for providing you with free storage for your science projects or science reports.

Best,
Oliver

thank you

Actually, I do not want to use the H5p.org site for storage. I just want to use it to prepare interactive video content. I want the participants to watch the video content with the link I have provided on the site. study design is planned as pretest-posttest. but paper documents will be tested to measure the effectiveness of the interactive video.

Hi nur53!

Wouldn't it be smarter to have H5P on your own server then? This site is for testing, as mentioned. Since too many people ignore this fact, the server can be under heavy load and may not always be responding. In addition, given all the additional "noise" on this test site, it's hardly a real environment. I assume that'd influence the results of your tests.

Anyway, the H5P core team doesn't actively prohibit using this site for those cases except from limiting the number of available content types, so I don't see any trouble here. But they'd have to give you something "in writing" if you need that.

Best,

Oliver

Thank you for your answer. I also trust your sincerity. Would it be better if I registered at H5p.com?

Hi nur53!

Regarding the server performance: definitely. H5P.com uses Amazon's web services to guarantee availability. Also, it's clean without any "noise" such as notes reminding you that h5p.org is only meant for testing, etc. But for your use case, I think a simple WordPress solution on your own server would suffice and be cheaper.

Best,

Thanks for your reply. I think I failed to express my request previously. I am planning to use an interactive video created on H5p.org website for a research article and I need to submit a text to the ethics committee that shows you give permission.
