Questions Answered From the H5P Jam Session
Q: How do you create a question bank in H5P?
A: H5P does not use question banks, but you can put more than one question or more than one question type (Example: true/false, matching, and multiple choice) in one H5P. There are several ways to do this. Here are 2 ideas:
-
- You could use the Course Presentation tool and put question on each slide.
- You could use the Quiz tool and add any number of different types of questions to the one Quiz.
Q: What does “originator” mean in roles for H5P metadata?
A: For creating OER, you’ll likely want to use “Author”. “Originator” is likely used more in the corporate world.
Q: Does H5P do spell check?
A: It does not. H5P is a Sweden-based company and designed to be used globally, so there is no base/built in/default language.
Suggestion: To ensure spelling is correct, it would be best to type your questions, answers, and feedback in a Word or Google doc to catch spelling errors, and then copy/paste them into the H5P.
