About

H5P is short for HTML5 Package. It's a free, open source framework and is financially supported by Mozilla. H5P gives you the ability to create interactive learning content to embed in Blackboard, in an online book in Pressbooks, or on any web page. You can use H5P to enhance many type of learning experiences, for example:

• A form wizard that helps students plan out every step of their project
• An interactive video to encourage engagement during viewing
• Self-directed quizzes
• Image hotspots to explore a graphic more thoroughly
• Interactive presentations that include self-assessment and opportunities to reflect
• and many, many more
