Question Set Tutorial
The question set allows eLearning designers to create a sequence of various quiz types, including Multichoice questions, Fill in the blanks, and Drag and drop. The question set supports customized text feedback as well as video feedback to the learner.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- When to use Question sets
- How to create a Question set
Click the "Get started" button to explore all of the possible ways to use H5P!
Example
Here's the Question set we'll create in this tutorial:
When to use Question sets
Question sets are useful when you want to create a sequence of problems, as opposed to multiple individual problems, for the learner to solve.
Use Questions sets to assess the learners' ability to reproduce key concepts of a compound learning material. Question sets can, for instance, be used as end-of-chapter tests or as a final course exam. You may use multiple quiz types, including Multichoice, Fill in the blanks, and Drag and Drop questions, to offer variation in your Questions sets.
Question sets can only be used stand-alone.
Step 1: Topic
In this tutorial, we'll use the example content from the Multichoice question, Drag and drop question and Fill in the blanks tutorials. As usual, berries are our overall topic :)
Step 2: Creating a Question set
Select the New content option and choose Quiz (Question Set) from the list of Content types:
Step 3: Question set editor
The Question set editor should now appear. The editor looks like this:
In this tutorial, we'll focus on creating the Question set content. This happens in the top part of the editor, so we won't bother with the Common fields and the lower parts of the editor.
The top part of the Question set editor consists of:
- general settings at the top including Background image, Progress indicator, and Pass percentage
- a Questions sections in the middle, where we add the various quiz tasks
- customizable text fields at the bottom, including Quiz introduction and Quiz finished: Your result:
Step 4: Background image
You can add a Background image that is displayed behind the various quiz tasks included in your Question set.
In this tutorial, we'll use the background below:
This picture is a modified version of a Public Domain picture found on Wikimedia Commons.
Step 5: Progress indicator
You can choose between a textual indicator and dots. We'll use Textual in this tutorial:
Step 6: Pass Percentage
Here you define the percentage of points the learner will need to achieve in order to pass the Question set. More about score points later in this tutorial. We'll set this to 80 for now:
Step 7: Questions
Here, we'll add the actual questions that the Question set consists of. In this tutorial, we'll add three quiz questions:
- A Multichoice question
- A Drag and drop question
- A Fill in the blanks
When the Question set editor is launched, only one undefined question type is displayed below the Questions header:
Step 8: Add Multichoice question
In the Question type dropdown, select a Multichoice question. This will load the Multichoice question editor:
We will add the exact same content as in the Multichoice question tutorial. Read it if you're curious about how to create a Multichoice question.
You should by now have something like this:
Step 9: Add Drag and drop question
Press the Add question button to add another question to the Question set.
This time, we'll choose Drag and drop question from the dropdown menu. The Drag and drop question editor will now appear.
Add the exact same content as in the Drag and drop question tutorial. Read it if you're curious about how to create a Drag and drop question.
After adding content to the Drag and drop question you should have something like this:
Step 10: Add Fill in the blanks question
Press the Add question button to add another question to the Question set.
As our final question for this question set, we'll choose the question type Fill in the blanks from the dropdown menu. The Fill in the blanks editor will now appear.
Now we'll add the exact same content as in the Fill in the blanks tutorial. Read it if you're curious about how to create Fill in the blanks.
After adding content to the Fill in the blanks question type, you should have something like this:
Step 11: Quiz introduction
By checking the Display introduction checkbox, the learner is shown an Introduction text and must press a Start quiz button to start solving the Question set.
Check the Display introduction checkbox. Then, add the following text in the Title field: Berry quiz
In the Introduction text insert this text:
Passing this test will certify you as a berry expert.
You need 80 % correct to pass. Good luck!
Leave the Start button text as it is, or change it to your own liking.
You should now have something like this:
Step 12: Quiz finished: Your result
Under the Quiz finished: Your result: header you have options related to how the quiz results are shown to the learner at the end of the Question set.
You will also find several text fields where you can customize or adapt the text being used to your own liking.
Make sure that the Display results checkbox is checked, as we want the learners to evaluate their own performance:
At the bottom of this field, you can also choose to Display video before quiz results. Here you can upload a video clip which is shown to the learner after completing the Question set, but before the results are displayed. You may choose to display one video clip if the learner passes the Question set, and another video clip if the learner fails. However, we'll skip adding video feedback in this tutorial, as this is entirely optional.
Step 13: Finishing up
Save the node/article to view your finished Question set.
You should now have the same result as the example on top of this page.
Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions on how to improve this tutorial.

I do see that Interactive
I do see that Interactive Book (according to https://documentation.h5p.com/content/1290591871936510658) is only in alpha. I do wonder if there are gotchas I should be aware of before using on H5P.com?
It's interesting though that this activity DOES appear on H5P, so I am now a little confused. In the "Content types settings" page on our site, Interactive Book is allowed (and active), so perhaps this documentation is out of date?

Hi Swin,Overall pass rate,
Hi Swin,
Overall pass rate, completion settings etc. all depends on the LMS. Most if not all content types follow the same rules coding wise so how Question Set sends the scores is the same as how IB does it.The main difference is Question Set is a quiz content type and have little way of using it as a teaching tool while IB has more flexibility since it is mainly a tabular version of Column which has more content types available.
Some content types on the list are available in H5P.com only after changing the settings, so I am assuming that an admin of your account has enabled it before. As for exisiting issues there are some and you can check them here. For the documentation I have to reach out to the H5P core team although replies may take longer than usual because of the holidays.

Hi BV,
FWIW, LMS is currently Moodle but connected to H5P via LTI.
I don't believe I added any content in the H5P settings that weren't enabled by H5P directly. Indeed, this doc link seems to suggest that Interactive full is all good - https://documentation.h5p.com/content/1290410474004879128.

Hi swin,
Hi swin,
I think you're right. There is no way to check on my account since there is no reset to default option and I've enabled IB when it was released. Nonetheless I'll reach out to the H5P core team to get these two documentations synched.

Ok, built a few things with the interactive book but I can see you do not really have the quiz like control. You can't set an overall passing score of feedback. So close, but ultimately it would seem simpler to be able to add a piece of media to the front end of the quiz.

FWIW BV, I noted that there was a "Question Set" content type that could be added to the Interactive Book. I'm not too sure about the applicability of this in this situation as it gives an odd UX whereby you have pages within a page. I will play with just adding the individual content element to the column and see how that behaves.

Hi Swin,
You're correct it has a weird feel to it since it was not designed to replace Question Set's behaviour. Please note that I sent this concern (having video as introduction for Question Set) as a feature request to H5P.com's development team so that they may consider adding such feature for future updates.

Finish button not always available the end of a quiz
We have a course using H5P do deliver a quiz. we are also using H5P for Moodle. Moodle is at version 3.10 and H5P is at 1.22.4. When a user goes through quiz (muliple choice, drag and drop, true false etc) and gets to the end of the course the Finish button is not always available. The back button is available and sometimes if the user goes back and forth, the finish button will show up. The student also receives their certificate even when though they didn’t complete the test.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue? Is it possible it could be a browser type issue? Maybe the set up of the questions procedure?
Thanks for any input on this.

Hi E.McGraw-Austin,
You are not overlooking, there is no feature to set a number of points per question. The only content type that lets you set specific points for questions would be the Branching screnario.

Auto move to the next question
Hi,
1) Right now we have the Next and Back navigation buttons to move to the newxt question in QuestionSet. Is there any way to move to the next question automatically once the user selects an option (for multiple choice) for the current question?
2) Is there any way we can make the questions required in the question set. So that user won't be able go to skip any question. Or disable the Next button if there is no selection (multiple choice).
Thanks in advance!

Hi munavir,For Multiple
Hi munavir,
For Multiple Choice Question there are no content types that lets you automatically move to the next question. One reason I can think of is that for Multiple Choice Questions there is no way for the content to know that the student is choosing all the answer they want. In contrast Single Choice set have the feature to move to the next question automatically since you are only needed to choose one answer.
For the 2nd feature only Interactive Video have the option to force users to answer (correctly) to continue the video.

send emails with H5p
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to prepare a level test in the english language for foreigh students with h5p and after they do it they receive the grade of the test in their email address.
The idea is that the tool grades the student correctly. The test has between 50 and 60 questions.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Ariana Abraham

Hi Ariana,
This is not possible with H5P alone. You will need a CMS or LMS that hosts the contents. The CMS or LMS may have a feature to send the grades to the student's email are another plugin that can do this.
