Incorporating H5Ps in the VU Collaborate Quiz Tool
Adding H5Ps to quizzes gives the opportunity for more interactive question types and authentic assessment by using content types such as Branching Scenarios and Interactive Videos. It also extends to the list of quiz question types you can utilise. The score from the H5P will be incorporated into the overall quiz attempt score, rather than create its own grade item.
Important Note: Please only use the H5P in Quiz feature for Formative assessment at this time. If you wish to use this feature in Summative assessment, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
You must have either created and/or have collaborator access to an existing H5P activity to be able to import them into a Quiz. Go to Introduction to H5P to learn how to create an H5P in VU Collaborate, or learn how to share and collaborate with others.

See the instructions below for some great examples and learn how you can create an H5P in VU Collaborate.
Step One: Check these settings on your H5Ps
1. From your H5P activity, select Edit.
Disabling Retry and Show Solution options
2. Now review the H5P activity Behavioural Settings to ensure both the Retry and Show Solutions options are disabled.
- The Retry option allows students to retake the quiz questions or redo the activity, and overwrite their attempt scores.
- The Show Solutions/Results allow the system to display the correct answers to students before their submissions.
You can simply disable these settings through Behavioural Settings located at the bottom of each H5P tool.
Depending on your H5P type, you will see different options as below.
Step Two: Enable sending scores to the VU Collaborate Space
After that, we will need to enable the LTI Settings to send scores to the VU Collaborate system.
Enabling LTI Settings
1. Scroll down to the bottom of the H5P, and select LTI Settings (a).
- Choose the attempt (b) that will send to the VU Collaborate system. Best attempt is recommended in case students need to complete another quiz attempt.
- Tick Allow logged-in users to resume content (c) to ensure the student progress will be saved in case of connection issues.
Some H5P content types currently do not support this resume feature, refer to Content Resume for more details on the content-type support list.
For Branching Scenario
2. For an H5P Branching Scenario type, you must also enable scoring methods, go to Settings, and then select Scoring Options.
For differences in scoring options, refer to Branching Scenario Tutorial - Step 8: Scoring.
3. When complete, select Save.
Step Three: Access a VU Collaborate Quiz
H5P Quiz Tools can be only created and accessed from a VU Collaborate Quiz, not through Question Library.
For additional information see our guide, then return to take the next step.
Step Four: Import an Interactive H5P activity into a Quiz
1. Under Questions, select H5P from Add Existing.
2. A H5P dashboard will pop up, navigate to your desired activity, then Insert.
3. If the import is successful, an External Activity successfully imported message will be displayed. If an error message is displayed, ensure you have enabled the activity to send scores to LMS in step two.
4. By default, each H5P activity will score 10 points. You can either change the score in the Points field and Update or change the activity point later.
5. To modify an H5P activity within a quiz, tick on box next to the desired activity name.
- A. Select Delete to remove the activity from the quiz
- B. Select Move To re-order the activity - to top, bottom or inside a section.
- C. More Options to add a bonus/mandatory quiz question or change the points of each activity.
Step Five: Review Question Details and Save
1. Review your quiz questions:
- A. Add a new quiz question or a section.
- B. Import another H5P activity or quiz questions
- C. Select Preview to preview the H5P quiz as a student.
- D. When complete, select Back to Settings for.... to go back to your quiz settings.
2. On returning to the Quiz Settings, when complete select Save and Close.
3. When the students access the quiz, the system will display any H5P with scoring methods as an External Activity.
Additional Information: Adding Viewable H5P activity into a Quiz
Important Note - it is recommended to only import H5P scoring types (quizzes, drag and drop, etc) into VU Collaborate quizzes since the system cannot tell if students have completed the activity, resulting in receiving an automatic 0 score.
If you want to import a viewable H5P activity (with no scoring questions) as a supporting resource to answer other quiz questions, follow the steps below:
1. Create a new quiz question or import one from a Question Library, for additional information see the following guides, then return to take the next step:
2. In the edit question page, place your cursor in the Question Text, then select Insert Stuff from the menu bar.
3. Follow the same process of inserting H5P in your VU Collaborate space, you can also refer back to our guide Inserting an H5P in VU Collaborate for more information.
4. Once you inserted the H5P, it will appear within the Question Textbox, you can also view how the question will be displayed to students on the right.
5. When complete select Save.
Student View
Once students enter the quiz, they will see the H5P activity attached to a quiz question.
