How to create H5P Game Code and access it from your devices
An H5P Game Code is a unique 7-digit code that allows participants to access H5P activity (The Chase, Word Cloud, Multi-poll and Emoji Cloud) directly from their mobile devices, without signing in or accessing VU Collaborate space.
How to enable Game Code on H5P activity?
By default, H5P activity will be set as Protected and only available to the owner and the collaborators. To enable the Game Code feature, your H5P activity must be Public.
Follow one of the methods below to modify the settings:
Method 1:
In your editing mode, scroll down to the bottom.
Click on the Publish tab, then select Public.
Method 2:
From your view mode, click on the More Options (three dots button) on the top right, then select Publish.
Tick on the Public option, then select Update to apply the changes.
Where can I find an H5P Game Code?
Once you have created your activity, you can find the game code located within the game settings.
You would need to have the owner or H5P collaborator access to see the game code.
If you cannot locate the game code, or don't have access to your teaching H5P activities, contact the activity owner or unit convenor to grant access.
How can my students access the H5P activity using the Game Code?
1. The students can simply navigate to go.h5p.com from their laptop or mobile browsers.
2. Enter the provided code from the teacher (7 digits with no space) in the Game Code field, then click Enter.
This will take them straight to the activity page.
