Moin,
After the takeover of H5P by D2L, the question arises for me to what extent there is a corresponding approach by this company to the community. Is this planned? Are there any corresponding channels or announcements? I don't need to emphasize that a lively community that has been trained by experience in the school or other mediating reality has a certain value for the further development of the H5P part.

Hi Villon,

Here are 2 links that may partially adress your concern :

S'appuyant sur ses 25 années de transformation de l'apprentissage, D2L s'engage à investir et à contribuer à la communauté H5P, car elle aide davantage d'éducateurs à offrir des expériences d'apprentissage engageantes et interactives, à la fois aux utilisateurs de D2L Brightspace et au-delà. Grâce à son dévouement au moment d'apprentissage, D2L s'engage à soutenir la communauté open source H5P, qui continue de proposer des expériences interactives innovantes et de qualité.

(As a side note, I was in awe when I read in the same article that D2L has acquired H5P for the pretty nice price of 25.6 millions US$... )

Greetings,

Isabelle

Hi Everyone,

My apologies that it tool a while to get back to you. I wanted to get an official statement from Svein-Tore (H5P CEO) and I quote "We don't expect any changes related to the two questions. The plan is to continue the flow of new free content types. D2L's main approach to the community will be through the H5P Core Team and H5P Group so that aspect also continues as usual."

Feel free to post in the questions any questions you may have that has not been covered in this page: https://h5p.org/status-update-july-2024. I will try to answer them or I can relay the question to the team.
