Build interactivity into your courses with new Pressbooks, H5P UM Learn integration
Enhance student experience with engaging course content
Pressbooks, an open-source platform that can be used for developing instructional content, is now easier than ever to integrate into UM Learn.
Students can now read and interact with Pressbooks content and H5P interactive activities without ever needing to leave UM Learn. H5P activities, like quizzes, can also be incorporated into the UM Learn grading system so student results can automatically be added to their grade.
Create or modify course content with Pressbooks
UM instructors have access to the Pressbooks Author & Editing platform, with support from UM Libraries. Instructors can create new written or interactive content on Pressbooks or copy (“clone”) existing content to configure it for the UM Learn integration. Cloning existing content is easy, and configuring content for integration is as simple as checking a box.
Add interactive activities to courses with H5P
The H5P plugin aims to make it easy to create, share and reuse interactive HTML5 content. Instructors can create many different activities with H5P, from multiple-choice quizzes to complex branching scenarios for virtual simulations.
Find content for your courses
To find existing Pressbooks with or without H5P, explore the Pressbooks directory or other open educational resource directories for content authored on Pressbooks.
