H5P is a free and open source content collaboration framework based on JavaScript. H5P, short for HTML5 Package, aims to make it easy for everyone to create, share, and reuse interactive HTML5 content like interactive videos, interactive demos, quizzes, interactive timelines, etc. H5P is used by more than 17,000 websites. The framework consists of a web-based content editor, a website for sharing content types, plugins for existing content management systems, and a file format for bundling HTML5 resources together. By default, the web-based editor is capable of adding and replacing multimedia files and text content in various H5P content types and applications. Additionally, content types can provide editors with custom widgets, enabling any type of editing capability and experience, including WYSIWYG editing of entire content types.
H5P makes it easy to create interactive content by providing a range of content types for various needs. You can create interactive content by adding the H5P plugin to your WordPress, Moodle or Drupal site, or integrate it via LTI with Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard and many other VLEs that supports LTI integration.
