Overview

In this article, you will learn how to use H5P in a Canvas assignment so that a grade for interaction with the H5P content is recorded in the Canvas gradebook.

Before You Begin

If Do Not Send Score is selected in your H5P LTI Settings, a grade will not be recorded even if an assignment is set up correctly.
Not all H5P content types allow the interaction to be recorded as a grade. This H5P Content Types document identifies which content types for which a grade can be recorded.

Course Integration Tip

H5P is best integrated into courses as a tool to foster active learning through activities such as self-checks. It is not recommended to use H5P to replace or substitute assessment.
