H5P

H5P, or HTML5 Package, is a free and open-source content collaboration plugin that makes it simple to create, share, and reuse interactive HTML5 content. With H5P, anyone can more effectively develop rich and engaging web experiences. Authors can make and edit interactive videos, presentations, games, ads, and more with H5P.

H5P and Canvas

You can embed H5P content on any platform that accepts embedded content (iframes) by using H5P.com. Additionally, H5P.com offers connections for LMSs that embrace the LTI standard, such as Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, and others. H5P also offers plugins for a number of other publishing systems, including Drupal, Moodle, and WordPress.

If you are interested in adding H5P integration to your Canvas course, submit an External App Integration Request to the Teaching and Learning Centre.
