H5P: Reusing and Sharing H5P Content
Learning Objectives
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- Control how your H5P interactive is reused or not.
- Add/reuse H5P interactives in Pressbooks.
Allowing/Disabling Reuse of Your Interactive
At the bottom of the H5P editor, you will see a checkbox labelled “Display buttons (download, embed, and copyright).” This box is checked by default. The following options are available:
- Allow users to download the content: To allow downloads of your content as a .h5p file to use or modify on other sites.
- Embed button: To allow embedding of your content as an iframe on other sites.
- Copyright button: To display the associated copyright and licensing information.
Learn more about reusing H5P interactives by visiting the Reusing Interactives from the H5P Studio Catalogue article posted in the Teaching and Learning Faculty Learning Hub.
Adding H5P Content to Pressbooks
Pressbooks. (2018, April 17). PressbooksEDU: H5P [Video file]. YouTube.
Uploading Content Created Elsewhere to the H5P Studio
You may use eCampusOntario H5P Studio to share or modify H5P content created on other sites. First, download the H5P content you wish to share by selecting the “reuse” button at the bottom of the module. If this option is unavailable, the author has not made the content available for modification. Then, visit eCampusOntario H5P Studio and select “Create” from the top menu bar. Select “Upload” and choose the downloaded H5P files from your local computer. The interactive and any associated metadata will then be available for you to share or modify.
