We’re pleased to announce that Moodle 3.8 will include the first stage of integrating H5P into Moodle. Just like Moodle, H5P is an open source project and it enables users to include interactive content in their courses.

Listening to our community, it became clear that integrating H5P functionality into Moodle would be very welcome, and so our Moodle HQ developers have been working closely with Joubel, the creators of H5P, to make this happen.

Moodle 3.8 will include:

  • an H5P player
  • an H5P button in the Atto editor – enabling H5P content to be added everywhere that Atto is used
  • a filter to automatically convert H5P URLs to embed code

If you’re interested in H5P development, please see the H5P specification in the developer documentation and feel free to join the discussions in our new H5P forum.
