Interactives: H5P, Simulations and More
LibreTexts pages can do much more than display text. Interactive elements such as H5P activities, simulations, interactive figures and 3D molecules give students something to try, not just something to read.
H5P is a free, open-source framework for creating, sharing and reusing interactive HTML5 content such as flashcards, drag-and-drop activities, interactive videos and quizzes. H5P activities used to live in LibreTexts Studio, which has now been retired. Verified instructors now view, create and edit H5P activities in Conductor, using the My H5P link in the navigation bar.
Browse thousands of shared H5P activities in the new Interactives area on Commons, where you can try an activity, copy its link, or get its embed code. You'll also find ready-made simulations and figures in each library's Learning Objects collection, such as the Chemistry Learning Objects.
What you can do with Interactives
- Create and remix H5P activities in Conductor, or reuse activities other instructors have shared.
- Add practice to your pages with formative H5P activities that students can try as they read.
- Grade it when it counts by using H5P activities as summative assessments through ADAPT.
- Embed simulations and figures such as PhET simulations, CalcPlot3D and GeoGebra explorations.
- Show molecules in 3D with interactive molecule and protein viewers.
- Check accessibility with the H5P Accessibility Guide for each activity type.
