Finding H5P
Why start from scratch when the content may already be created?
- Find and reuse as is, or revise and customize.
- Each piece of H5P content can be downloaded and imported into your Pressbooks hosted book.
- This option creates a copy.
- It is new file with a new ID number.
- Changes to the original H5P will not change or alter this new file.
- You can also use the embed code and reuse the content outside of Pressbooks.
- This option does not create a copy.
- Any changes to the original will be reflected in the embedded version.
Note: You can also display the H5P created in Pressbooks on a web page including learning management systems (LMS) pages using the embed code.
