H5P | About H5P Activity types

H5P is one of the external learning tools that are integrated into Brightspace, allowing teachers to create interactive content within their courses. With H5P, educators can design a wide variety of learning activities,  providing students with opportunities to actively engage with the material. These activities can include interactive presentations, quizzes, timelines, 360° images, and videos with embedded questions or clickable elements.

In this article you will find an overview of the H5P activity types.
