#44 H5P – Interactive Book Activity Tutorial

ยท

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ How It Feels to Use

When learners open an Interactive Book:

  • Theyโ€™re greeted by a custom cover page ๐Ÿ“˜โ€”complete with a title, image, and description.
  • Navigation is simple with page arrows โžก๏ธ or a table of contents ๐Ÿ“‘.

Each page is like a mini-lesson:

  • ๐ŸŽž๏ธ A Course Presentation slideshow
  • ๐Ÿ”ค Drag-the-Words vocabulary practice
  • ๐Ÿ” Find the Hotspot image-based activity

It all lives on one scrollable page, and each module contributes to a final score ๐Ÿ.


๐ŸŽฏ Why Itโ€™s Useful

The Interactive Book is perfect for:

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Online Courses

Deliver a full lessonโ€”video explanations, interactive quizzes, and follow-up tasksโ€”all in one place.

๐Ÿ  Flipped Classrooms

Students engage with the lesson at home, arriving to class ready to apply what they learned ๐Ÿ’ก.

๐Ÿข Training Manuals

Perfect for onboarding: combine policies, walkthroughs, and quick checks to create engaging internal content ๐Ÿ“š.

๐ŸŒ Language Learning

Mix grammar, audio clips ๐Ÿ”Š, translation tasks, and vocabulary games into one cohesive unit.

๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Gamified Learning

Track scores, progress bars, and completions to encourage replayability and challenge learners.


๐ŸŒŸ What Makes It Stand Out

๐Ÿงฎ Auto-Scoring & Progress

  • Tracks total score across pages โœ…
  • Shows completion per page ๐Ÿ“ˆ
  • Displays interaction stats (e.g. how many tasks were attempted)

๐Ÿ“‹ Flexible Behavior Settings

  • Enable/disable progress bars
  • Let students check off “I’ve finished this page” manually โœ…
  • Auto-complete based on activity interaction ๐Ÿค–

โœ๏ธ Custom Text Overrides

Change button labels like:

  • โ€œReadโ€ โžก๏ธ โ€œStart Chapter 1โ€
  • โ€œSubmitโ€ โžก๏ธ โ€œCheck Answerโ€

๐ŸŒ Multilingual Friendly

You can translate interface text for use in other languages ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต.


โš ๏ธ A Few Quirks to Know

Like any tool, it has a few bugs:

  • ๐Ÿงญ Find the Hotspot may not register as “completed”
  • โณ Timeline module sometimes needs a refresh to display properly in full-screen

But once youโ€™re familiar with these quirks, theyโ€™re easy to avoid or fix.


โœ… Final Thoughts

The Interactive Book is more than a toolโ€”itโ€™s a learning platform in a box ๐Ÿ“ฆ.

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 lessonโ€”this is H5P at its best ๐Ÿ”.
