Guide: Building H5P Resources in LibreText Studio

Let's try out the editor interface together by creating a simple activity: Multiple Choice.

For step-by-step instructions, watch the recorded presentation on the next page.

Creating and Managing H5P

When you enter LibreTexts Studio, you will see this menu across the top of your screen:

Discover
Library: Search for any existing H5P resources by subject, keyword, and/or type of resource.; LibreTexts' in-house library of H5P resources created on their platform.
Collections: Search through existing collections of resources organized by subject and/or keyword tags.
Subjects: Search by subject, with results offering both collections and individual resources.
Hubs: Explore hubs that correspond to specific college campuses. SDCCD does not have a hub (yet!)
New H5P: Select to create a new resource
New Collection: Select to create a new Collection to house found and created H5P resources. Organize by course, topic, unit, etc
Author Menu: Access your profile information, all H5P resources you authored, your collections, your bookmarked resources, your collaborations with other authors, and account settings.

New "Multiple Choice" H5P

Today, we are going to start simply, with a Multiple Choice resource from the vast list of H5P content types. After selecting "New H5P" from the top menu, follow along the simple process of creating your own Multiple Choice resource.

Search and find the "Multiple Choice" option from the list of H5P Content Types.
Explore the H5P editor tool - this will look different depending on the types of resource you are creating.
Fill in the text for the question and answer options.
For each specific answer option, you have the option of offering students hints (before they submit their answer) and feedback (after they submit their answer)
Behavioral settings for the resource offer options for students to retry the activity, show the solution if answered incorrectly, and more.
Once all required sections are filled out, including the subject type, see your resource. (Note: you can always go back and edit resources that you've authored).
Once saved, you can see the finished Multiple Choice activity. I recommend testing the activity to ensure quality - it's easy to miss little details in the process!
Once satisfied with your activity, select "Embed" from the bottom of your activity window and integrate into your Canvas page, digital textbook, and beyond! See our creation below:
