Adding an H5P True/False Activity

Margarita Berezyanskaya

Last Update a month ago

The process to create an H5P using the Content bank starts with opening the Content bank, and then creating an H5P and then linking the H5P to your course main page. Normally, the Content bank only refers to H5Ps on a 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 True/False Question Option Settings

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

in the H5P editing window
in the Moodle options

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 on H5P tools.

H5P Learning Object Options

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

The course Content bank appears. (This image is in details view display).

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

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

4. Scroll to the bottom of the H5P editor.

Note: There are options for Behavioural Settings and Text overrides and Translations.

5. Click on the Behavioural settings link.

6. The Behavioural settings link expands. (see below)

Note: These can be used to refine the question learning experience.

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

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

If checked, Show confirmation dialog on "Check" displays a check dialogue box for the learner to confirm the submission of an answer.

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

If Automatically check answer is checked, the Check button does not appear and the result is automatically displayed to the learners.

The Feedback textboxes option allows you to control what feedback the learner sees based on a correct or incorrect response.

7. The next section, Text overrides and translations, allows the instructor to customize the learning experience by changing the prompt and button terms or translating feedback into another language.

Note: For example, if the target students are Spanish, the terms (e.g. True = Verdadera) in the H5P can be changed here.

8. Click on the Save button.

9. Click on the Close button.

H5P Learning Object Moodle Options

1. In the course main menu, click on the H5P link.

2. Click on the Actions menu, and then click on Edit settings.

3. Scroll down the screen, expand the H5P options link.

Note: As of July, 2020 this does not appear when using the Content Bank. It does appear when the H5P is used independently or using the Interactive Content H5P mode.

The Allow download displays the Reuse link on an H5P. This allows other users permission to download the H5P file and upload it to their courses.

The Embed button provides the embed code to use in other activities in the same course, for example in a Moodle Page or a Book activity.

The Copyright button inserts a copyright link on the H5P for users to view copyright information about the H5P activity.

4. Click on the Grade drop-down option.

5. Set the Grade Type to Point (numeric) or Scale.

If Point is chosen you must set a Maximum grade.

If Scale is chosen, you must select a Scale.

6. A Grade category can be selected, if grade categories are set up for this course.

7. The Grade to pass should be set here if the H5P grade is set on Point or Scale.

8. The Attempt options section enables H5P tools that have advanced tracking features to report activity to your course. To do this, set the Enable attempt tracking to Yes.

9. Use the Grading method drop-down menu to choose the grading calculation for the H5P activity. Options include: Highest Grade, Average grade, Last attempt, First attempt, or Don't calculate a grade.

Settings in the Common module section are common to many Moodle activities and resources.

10. The Availability setting is used to Show/Hide the activity. This is identical to using the Show/Hide icons when the Turn editing on function is enabled on a course home page.

11. The ID Number setting sets an ID number for advanced use of the gradebook. (This is not used in the LINC courseware.)

12. The Group mode setting enables the use of groups. (More information is available in the Organizing Learners Using Groups article.)

13. Settings in the Restrict access section can be used to limit access to the activity. (More information is available in the Setting up and Using Restrict Access Settings article.)

The Tags sections can be used to add keywords to the assignment.

Note: Tagging an activity will generate an artifact that is seamlessly added to the learners' ePortfolios. See Tagging Activities for Avenue.ca ePortfolio Auto-Collection for more information about tagging and the auto collection of artifacts for the learner's ePortfolios.

16. Click on the Save and display button to save/update the activity or click on the Save and return to course button.
