๐จโ๐ซ How It Feels to Use
When learners open an Interactive Book:
- Theyโre greeted by a custom cover page ๐โcomplete with a title, image, and description.
- Navigation is simple with page arrows โก๏ธ or a table of contents ๐.
Each page is like a mini-lesson:
- ๐๏ธ A Course Presentation slideshow
- ๐ค Drag-the-Words vocabulary practice
- ๐ Find the Hotspot image-based activity
It all lives on one scrollable page, and each module contributes to a final score ๐.
๐ฏ Why Itโs Useful
The Interactive Book is perfect for:
๐งโ๐ป Online Courses
Deliver a full lessonโvideo explanations, interactive quizzes, and follow-up tasksโall in one place.
๐ Flipped Classrooms
Students engage with the lesson at home, arriving to class ready to apply what they learned ๐ก.
๐ข Training Manuals
Perfect for onboarding: combine policies, walkthroughs, and quick checks to create engaging internal content ๐.
๐ Language Learning
Mix grammar, audio clips ๐, translation tasks, and vocabulary games into one cohesive unit.
๐น๏ธ Gamified Learning
Track scores, progress bars, and completions to encourage replayability and challenge learners.
๐ What Makes It Stand Out
๐งฎ Auto-Scoring & Progress
- Tracks total score across pages โ
- Shows completion per page ๐
- Displays interaction stats (e.g. how many tasks were attempted)
๐ Flexible Behavior Settings
- Enable/disable progress bars
- Let students check off “I’ve finished this page” manually โ
- Auto-complete based on activity interaction ๐ค
โ๏ธ Custom Text Overrides
Change button labels like:
- โReadโ โก๏ธ โStart Chapter 1โ
- โSubmitโ โก๏ธ โCheck Answerโ
๐ Multilingual Friendly
You can translate interface text for use in other languages ๐ช๐ธ๐ซ๐ท๐ฏ๐ต.
โ ๏ธ A Few Quirks to Know
Like any tool, it has a few bugs:
- ๐งญ Find the Hotspot may not register as “completed”
- โณ Timeline module sometimes needs a refresh to display properly in full-screen
But once youโre familiar with these quirks, theyโre easy to avoid or fix.
โ Final Thoughts
The Interactive Book is more than a toolโitโs a learning platform in a box ๐ฆ.
You get:
- A clean, scrollable layout
- Rich multimedia options
- Deep activity tracking
- A user-friendly experience for both learners and educators
Whether you’re creating an ESL chapter, onboarding course, or flipped lessonโthis is H5P at its best ๐.
