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..
Major features completed so far:
- Multiplayer session APIs (H5P.com) Done - June 2021 release(more to come)
- Allow content created on your site to be shared on a global H5P Hub Done - June 2021 release
- Accessibility improvements. WCAG 2.0 AA with great WAI ARIA coverage for the content types. (Will always be a priority. Overview)

Hi garrettlee,
I believe that there was a prototype plugin for Joomla previously, but it's now far behind and requires a lot of love to get up to speed.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone is working on it now since the interest has been low from the Joomla community.
Perhaps you could create content on another site and then use the iframe embed code to add it to your Joomla?

H5P and Panopto?
Hi
We had heard from our Panopto customer rep that they were committed to building an API which allow use of Panopto videos by H5P.
I've had a look around the site but can't see any mention of this. Just wondered if you had anything planned here. I'm not a developer, but would be happy to help in any way with testing. It would be exciting for our lecturers if they could add H5P interactions to their Panopto videos!

Hi Jim,Personally I haven't
Hi Jim,
Personally I haven't seen any mention of Panopto in the forums. I've also not heard anything from the core team regarding creating something on H5Ps side in supporting Panopto. But since you mentioned that they are working on an API I would assume that it would be similar to what Youtube has to offer and once it is done it should work the same way as Youtube videos.

Content off
What is the possibility of making the content available off, in Brazil there are still places without internet but with the need for inclusive editing.

Hi Mario,H5P in itself cannot
Hi Mario,
H5P in itself cannot be used offline but it is possible with a certain setup. You can use WAMP/MAMP depending on your system, then install Moodle, Wordpress or Drupal and lastly install H5P in one of them. Of course you would need an internet connection to install all of these plus to download all the libraries for all the cotent types. Once all of those preparations have been done you are good to go.

I'm using the WordPress plug
I'm using the WordPress plug-in to create H5P interactives. When updates are available for individual content types, how I can find out what updates were made? The roadmap only seems to give general updates, but not changes made to specific content types. Thank you.

Useful new features please
The following would be extremely useful.
1) Ability to have an interaction or answer initiate a vocal answer. ( play a sound file )
2) Objects clicked via hotspots are put into an inventory / list as a coded string to be used elsewhere in the interactive video.
I'm sure both would be quite simple HTML coding that would create much more interesting interaction.
Thanks

Hi Guitarman4,Good
Hi Guitarman4,
Good suggestions would mind creating a feature request for these. 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.

iFrame embedder
One of the most usefull content types is the iFrame embedder.
It enables me to use content types in Column which are not already possible (multiple hotspot).
Simply make content and use the embedding code to automagically insert it into Column.
I even have an excel which is generating code that I can upload in the database to create a column with lots of content of different pages (=> much faster then the webform)
To bad iFrame embedder isn't possible in Presentation (and also 360°, Interactive video and branching scenario).
instead of enabling individual content types to work in presentation, enabling iFrame embedder would make ALL content types to work in presentation.
Also maintaining the library is much easier when you have individual pages build together with the iframe embedder. For now, only in Column.

what happens after the 30 day trial
hi! I signed up for the 30-day trial, created interactive content, and loaded these up on Canvas. What will happen to these interactive contents when my free trial expires? Will they vanish from the LMS? Appreciate some clarification soonest, please. Thanks!

Hi drevill,
Access to the contents will stop once the trial expires and they will be permanently deleted after 30 days. You can download the contents prior to the expiration for future use. You can also send an email to [email protected] for more details.

what happens after the 30 day trial
Hi BV,
Can you kindly clarify what you mean by permanently deleted? Does it mean that copying and using the embed code is not enough? I have to download the file and add it to Canvas itself otherwise at the end of the trial period it will automatically vanish from my canvas page? Appreciate the patience in answering.
Thank you!

Hi drevill,Embedding the
Hi drevill,
Embedding the content using either the embed button or using the LTI connection only works if you have an active subscription or at least a trial account. The contents are hosted within your account in H5P.com's server, so once the subscription/trial ends the account will not be accessible anymore as well as the contents. I'm afraid you cannot upload the contents into Canvas directly since it does not have a plugin that can read the file. However the downloaded contents should still work if you host the contents using the H5P plugins for Wordpress, Drupal or Moodle, you can also use this for future H5P.com subscriptions.
I hope this helps and if you have other questions feel free to post your comments or send an email to the H5P.com Customer Success team at [email protected].

TypeScript types library as core
I'd like the Group to add an officially-sanctioned TypeScript types library to the roadmap; a few of us have been having a lively discussion about it in the forums. Can folks tell me how best to go about making that suggestion to the Group formally?
A types library, while simple, is critical for the TypeScript developer base, and having the H5P Group publish one in their name would do much to make those developers' efforts more durable and readily maintainable. It would also be a sign that the Group wants to nuture a diverse and vibrant developer community and is interested in encouraging rigor and best practice among that community.
There are several contributed libraries in the npm registry that could serve as a starting point, and a few willing hands, at least. We'd just need a little steering from and the blessing of the H5P Group.
