Adding H5P Interactive Activities to your Course Site

LTI - H5P - Activities

To add an H5P activity to your Bruin Learn course site you can either add it through the Assignments section or through Pages. See the directions below for both options.

Accessing H5P through Assignments.

  1. Navigate to the Assignments tab in your course website using the left-hand navigation menu.

2. In the upper right corner of the screen, click on “+ Assignment” to add a new assignment.

3. After naming your new assignment, scroll down until you see “Submission Type”. Change submission type to “External Tool” using the drop menu. Then click on “Find”. This will open a secondary window titled “Configure External Tool” which lists all the external tools available through Assignments.

4. In the Configure External Tool window, scroll down until you see “Interactive Content - H5P”. Click on this option to select it. This will open the H5P interface window.

5. Here, you can then either select pre-existing H5P content you have already created or that has been shared with you from your H5P activity library. Or you can create new H5P content by clicking on the “+ Add Content'' button in the upper left corner of the window.

6. To add pre-existing content, scroll down until you find the activity you wish to add and then click on the green “Insert” option to the right of the activity.

Accessing H5P through Pages

  1. Navigate to the Pages tab in your Bruin Learn course site using the left-hand navigation menu.

2. If you already have pages built in your course site, you will not see the “+ Page” option in the upper right corner of the Pages screen. To find this, first click on the blue “View All Pages” option on the left side of the main screen. This will open a list of all the published and unpublished pages in your Bruin Learn course site. Now, you should see the blue “+ Page” button in the upper right.

3. Click on “+ Page” to add a new page.

4. Name your new page, for example “H5P Activity”.

7. This will open the H5P interface window for your H5P account (will be automatically made when you open Interactive Content H5P). Here you can then either select pre-existing H5P content you have already created or that has been shared with you from your H5P activity library. Or you can create new H5P content by clicking on the “+ Add Content” button in the upper left corner of the window.
