Adding an H5P Fill in the Blanks Activity

Last Update 20 dagen geleden

The process to create an H5P using the Content bank starts with opening the Content bank, creating the H5P and then linking the H5P to your course.
Note: Please be advised that this tool will only generate one question. To generate quiz with more than one question and potentially more question types, use the Quiz(Question set) tool.

H5P Fill in the Blanks Optional Settings

There are two ways to enhance an H5P learning object in your courseware:


  • in the H5P editing window;

  • in the Moodle options section.


The sections below, H5P Learning Object Options and H5P Learning Object Moodle Options, detail how an instructor can customize how the H5P learning object interacts with learners and reports results to the courseware.


Be aware that the H5P Behavioural settings and Text overrides and translations differ between H5P tools.

H5P Learning Object Options

1. In the Navigation Drawer, click on the Content bank link.



The course Content bank appears.


2. Choose name of the H5P in the Content name column.



3. The H5P learning object appears, click on an Edit button.


The H5P editing screen appears.


4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Fill in the Blanks section and click on Behavioural Settings.


5. Several options appear. These can be used to define the H5P learning experience.



If checked, the Enable "Retry" button can allow an additional attempt at a question.



If checked, the Enable "Show Solution" button allows the learner to see the correct answer.



If Automatically check answers after input is checked, the result automatically displays to the learners with out a Check button.


Selecting Case sensitive ensures that the learner's response matches the expected case if turned on.



Checking off the option Require all fields to be answered before the solution can be viewed will display a pop-up to the learner if they click the check box before they answer all cloze fields in the question.



The Put input fields on separate lines option generates a spaced-out format. Each input field extends across the workspace.



The Show confirmation dialog on "Check" option displays a check dialogue box for the learner to confirm the end of the activity.



The Show confirmation dialog on "Retry" option displays a check dialogue box for the learner to confirm the repeat of an activity.



The Accept minor spelling errors option allows you to control how the points are deducted for spelling errors.


The next section, Text overrides and translations, allows the instructor to customize feedback by changing the wording to accommodate linguistic levels or translating feedback into another language.



For example, the Show solutions button can be changed to German to accommodate German speaking learners.
