Building H5P content

1 – To access and create H5P content for your UTSOnline (Blackboard) site, go to the ‘Build Content’ menu bar.
2 – Click the ‘H5P’ menu item.

 

3 – Click ‘Add Content.’ This will open up the H5P content library.

 

4 – Select the desired content type. In the H5P content library, find the desired content type. You can learn more about each content type if you select ‘Details.’

Upon selecting desired content type, you will be taken to the authoring page. As the build for each content type can vary, it is recommended that you follow the H5P tutorials for desired H5P content type.

Publishing H5P content

There are two methods to publish H5P content in your UTSOnline (Blackboard) site.

Method A – Publish as an H5P item
Method B – Embed H5P as an iFrame via HTML editor

 

(Method A) Publish as an H5P item

Access ‘H5P’ item via the ‘Build Content’ menu bar in the desired location within your UTSOnline (Blackboard) subject.

1 – Click the appropriate label under the ‘Manage Content’ navigation panel.

• My Content: H5P content you created.
• Shared with me: H5P content created by someone else and shared with you.
• All content: All self-created, shared and public H5P content.

2 – Click the ‘Insert’ icon to create the UTSOnline (Blackboard) content item.

 

This will create a H5P item in the desired location of your UTSOnline (Blackboard) site. You can check this learning item by going into the student preview mode. This will open the H5P activity on a new page within UTSOnline (Blackboard).

 

(Method B) Embed H5P as an iFrame via the HTML editor

2 – Under the ‘Publish’ section, ensure that the item is set as ‘Public’ status.
