Welcome, everyone! Today I’m sharing how to create an interactive course presentation using the H5P Course Presentation module on WordPress.
This module lets you build a slideshow packed with media, interactive tasks, and navigation — all in one place. Let’s take a look at what it can do and how you can use it.

👀 Preview: What We’ll Be Making
Here’s a sample of what we built:
- 🔢 10-slide presentation
- 🖊️ Text, shapes, and links
- 🦁 Clickable silhouettes to navigate to animal pages
- 🎥 Embedded video

🧱 What You Can Add
You can add:
- 🖊️ Text
- 🔗 Links
- 🖼️ Images
- 🔷 Shapes (rectangle, circle, lines)
- 🎥 Video or 🎧 Audio
- 🔘 Buttons (Go to Slide)
- ❓ Fill in the Blanks, Multiple Choice, True/False
- 🧠 Drag and Drop, Mark the Words, Dialog Cards
- 🧾 Continuous Text, Exportable Text Area
- 📊 Summary slides
- 🐦 Twitter Feed (experimental)
⸻
🧾 Continuous Text
A great tool for handling long blocks of text:
- Add all your text into the first slide.
- Use the Continuous Text element on following slides — it will automatically continue from where it left off.
- Great for storytelling, chapters, or long articles.
⸻
💬 Exportable Text Area
Let users answer questions or reflect:
- Users can type their own text (e.g., “What did you learn about animals?”)
- Text can be exported at the end of the presentation.
- Ideal for reflection, journaling, or personal input.
⸻
🧪 Bonus: Twitter Feed (⚠️ Not Working)
The Twitter User Feed element currently does not work without Twitter API setup. I tried usernames with and without @, but no luck. If you figure it out, let me know!
⸻
🧠 Adding Activities from Other Modules
Here’s a useful trick:
- Copy an existing activity (e.g., Drag and Drop) from another H5P module.
- Paste it directly into a Course Presentation slide.
- Edit the copy without affecting the original!
✅ Works great for reusing content across modules.
⸻
📊 Summary Page
The final slide includes:
- A summary of scores from all activities
- Options to retry, view answers, or export text
Perfect for tracking student understanding or self-review.
