H5P - Interactive Content

H5P (HTML5 Package) Interactive Content is an interactive content creation tool integrated into Moodle, allowing instructors to create and embed interactive content directly within their courses. H5P offers a wide range of content types, including presentations, quizzes, interactive videos, games, simulations, and more. Instructors can create, edit, and embed H5P content, such as quizzes, surveys and assessments, directly within their courses. Settings, such as content layout, interactivity levels, scoring options, and multimedia elements, can also be adjusted.

H5P has accessibility features such as keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and compatibility with assistive technologies.

H5P content within Moodle also tracks student interactions and performance data, enabling instructors to monitor student engagement, progress, and performance.
