What is H5P?

H5P is an open source educational technology that provides a set of tools to make it easy for everyone to create, share and reuse interactive HTML5 learning content. HTML5 generally provides a universal experience across most devices and browsers. HTML5 makes creating accessible content easier.

MyUni H5P

MyUni uses H5P.com as a hosted service. This provides a number of benefits including:

Provides tools for protecting, sharing and storing content in shared libraries within the university systems.
Support for videos, mathematics, analytics and storing results in MyUni.

Faculty folders have been set up in MyUni H5P to locate and share H5P interactive content. These folders represent shortcuts to H5P content. This will make it easier for course coordinators to search for and locate content.

How do staff get a MyUni H5P License?

In order to create MyUni H5P content, an authoring license is needed. As soon as a Course Teacher inserts an H5P Interactive Content from the Rich Text Editor they are automatically allocated a license.

MyUni has an enterprise licence for H5P.

How do students get to access the MyUni H5P content?

H5P licenses are automatically allocated to enrolled learners in a MyUni course. This role is automatically called a learner license.

Basic H5P rules in MyUni

There a few basic rules to follow when using H5P in MyUni. For more information about these refer to the menu at the top of this page.

H5P content should be inserted into a MyUni course via the Rich Content Editor rather than linking using embed code or html links.
In general, a H5P interaction should be cloned before adding to a new course. Only teachers of that course should be editors or owners of that H5P interaction. Note that if a course is duplicated or copied then the same H5P interactive could collect student interactions from multiple courses.
Do not upload large videos. If an interactive video is longer than 10 to 15 minutes then Echo360 with Polling Questions should be used. H5P is a system for interactive activity not a video playback system.
H5P activities should generally be shared using the Green Organisational Sharing Folders.
- Note that - this rule is mainly to enable H5P activities to be discoverable and to work in multiple courses.
- Also note that - Inserting a H5P activity into your course without checking use in other courses can mean student interactions data reports are combined.
