About

Note: The H5P Open Hub – which offers one-stop shop H5P functionality – is currently in its soft launch phase. This means occasional bugs are to be expected, alongside relatively fast update and improvement cycles.

Who can access and create content?

H5P is currently open to members of the UBC community. Authenticated users can create new content or reuse/republish appropriately licensed content that was created elsewhere. If you are a member of the UBC Community see how to get started creating H5P content on the H5P Open Hub.

Licensing and sharing

Newly created content needs to have an appropriate license attached to it. The H5P Open Hub defaults to publishing content under a CC-BY license. IF you create content on the H5P Open Hub you are able to choose your preferred license for your content.

Metadata, disciplines, and faculty affiliation

UBC Faculties, Schools, and other entities such as UBC Library or CTLT have the ability to identify and mark their own content and assure certain publishing policies or published materials’ standards. Furthermore, creators are encouraged to attach appropriate disciplines and keywords (tags) to their content to better the findability and use of their resources.


Media files

UBC’s H5P Open Hub provides the H5P module creation environment and hosting. It does not though provide multimedia server capabilities for video and audio files. So, users are advised to use UBC’s Kaltura service for hosting media or external video services such as YouTube or Vimeo.


Support

We have produced examples of all H5P Content Types available on this platform. Joubel – H5P’s creators – have created tutorials and documentation for popular modules. Also, examples and downloads are available from Joubel. Multiple higher-ed institutions in Ontario contribute to and share their H5P modules.
