Tutela Resources: Adding an H5P Activity to the Courseware
Margarita Berezyanskaya
Last Update 11 days ago
Tutela offers H5P resources free for its registered users.
H5P is an online tool that creates media-rich, interactive and engaging learning activities. The H5P editor and full functionality are available to instructors in their courseware. They can also import existing H5P activities into their courseware from Tutela.ca. Instructors may also create original H5P activities within the courseware itself.
In this example,
1. an H5P object is downloaded from Tutela,
2. the H5P file is saved in the Avenue Content bank,
3. the H5P learning object is added to the Avenue course.

16. The Grade setting determines how the score that is entered into the grade book is calculated.
The Grading method setting determines the grade for a single attempt of the activity. The options are Learning objects, Highest grade, Average grade and Sum grade. The Learning object option uses the pass/fail setting in the H5P package. (The default is Average grade.)
Maximum grade sets the highest mark that can be achieved for this activity. It is used in the grade book.
17. The Attempt options settings determine attempt tracking data for advanced reporting such as number of attempts, responses and grades.
Note: Some H5P objects do not provide attempt tracking data. In such cases, the following settings will have no effect.
The Common module settings section is common to many Moodle activities and resources.
The Availability setting is used to Show or 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.
The ID Number setting sets an ID number for advanced use of the grade book. (This is not used in the LINC courseware.)
The Group mode settings are used to control the visibility options for different Groups if enabled. (More information is available in the Organizing Learners Using Groups article.)
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.)
Settings in the Activity completion section can be used to control how the activity is marked as complete. (More information is available in the Setting up and Using Completion Tracking article.)
Settings in the Tags section can be used to add tags to the activity.
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.
18. Once all the settings are configured, click on the Save and return to course button.
