What is H5P?
H5P is a collection of HTML5 tools that facilitates the creation of easy-to-use, engaging and responsive interactive digital experiences. A H5P file consists of HTML5 files packaged together to create a specific interactive. H5Ps are designed to make online learning more interactive and are ideal to include in the self-access component for the Southern Cross Model unit design. H5P files can also be downloaded and shared with others, and therefore also reused/adapted for future units.
Creating a H5P requires no specialised skills in graphic design or programming. It is designed so that anyone can use the tool with some training.
The video below goes through how we use H5P content at Southern Cross University:
