Adding Interactive Content (H5P)

Activating H5P

If your Postz site is missing an option for H5P Content on the left side menu, you can activate it for your site by navigating to Plugins also on the left side menu. This will display the list of plugins available for your book, beneath the option for H5P you’ll see a link to Activate it.

Once you’ve activated the H5P plugin, the option for H5P Content will be available on the left side menu.

In order to create H5P and add it to your site, you have two different options.

1) you can click Add New on the left side menu from under H5P Content:

Creating H5P and Accessing Tutorials

After clicking Add New or Add H5P, you’ll be on the initial H5P interface where you’ll (1) create a title for the H5P activity, (2) select the type of H5P from the drop down menu, (3) make sure the option Create is bulleted or select upload to add an existing H5P to your site, and (4) select the display options for your H5P.

Once you’ve selected the H5P content type you want to create the interface for the content loads. You’ll use that interface to build your interactive content. Look for the blue “Tutorial available” link next to the content type dropdown box to get access to an in-depth tutorial from the H5P website. These tutorials will take you through the H5P creation process step by step, and often with video support. They’re a great resource to rely on while creating H5P for your site!
