Enable H5P Rights of Use

Why do we need to enable Rights of Use in H5P Activities?

  • H5P imported into to Pressbooks with an OER page do not maintain any connection to their original creator without Rights of Use
  • H5P creators may not have added Rights of Use in activities used in the OER they authored
  • H5P may be added from a different source than the text/content on a page, and must be attributed properly
  • Original H5P activities created during our adaptation/enhancement process(es) need to be marked with their own metadata so they are distinct from the original content and give proper credit to creators

The Finished Product

Click the “Rights of Use” link on the bottom border of the activity to view the metadata entered into the H5P metadata tool. Note: in this example, images are used in the background of the image hotspots, so Rights of Use will display the metadata associated with those images, as well. That data is added inside the activity itself using another metadata popup.

What does this look like in the H5P Metadata Tool?
