H5P is an interactive content tool that can be added to any D2L Brightspace course. H5P can be used to make interactive, engaging content experiences that increase active learning. Interactive content is powerful for creating formative assessments and feedback opportunities. H5P can also be used to add variety to the presentation of your content or to embed quizzes alongside multimedia content, for example.
WARNING: H5P is an excellent tool for interactive learning and informal, ungraded assessments. H5P should not, however, be used for formally graded assessment or summative assessments. Some tech-savvy students may be able to access the answers to H5P questions.
If you have any questions about using H5P in your assessment plans, please reach out to tlssupport.carleton.ca. |
