An Overview of H5P Interactive Content
About the H5P Interactive Content
The H5P (short for HTML5 Package) is an archive that contains interactive contents such as presentations, videos and other multimedia, questions, quizzes, games, and more. H5P content can be created in the Content bank and added to your courses as an H5P activity or embedded into other activities or resources.
