Create Interactive Content with H5P Training for eLearning Experts

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your online training sessions less “watch and wait” and more “click and learn,” H5P might be exactly what you need. Creating interactive content through H5P is a powerful way to transform static Moodle™ software courses into immersive digital learning experiences. At Pukunui, our advanced H5P training for eLearning is designed to help learning designers, trainers, and educators turn theory into action-using dynamic tools like interactive video, branching scenarios, and gamified quizzes.

Because let’s face it-“Next” buttons don’t inspire mastery. Engaging interactive modules do.

Why Learn H5P for eLearning and Moodle™ Software?

H5P is an open-source toolset for creating rich HTML5 content types like interactive videos, quizzes, and course presentations-all of which can be embedded directly into your Moodle™ implementation. When used well, it can completely change how learners interact with your content.

Here’s what makes H5P essential for modern instructional design:

• Boosts retention through immediate feedback and active participation.
• Integrates directly with Moodle™ and other popular LMS platforms like WordPress and Drupal.
• Offers versatile content types including drag-and-drop tasks, multiple-choice quizzes, and interactive timelines.
• Requires no coding skills to develop polished learning experiences.

What You’ll Get from Our Advanced H5P Training

This is not just a tutorial-our course is a hands-on experience focused on helping you apply everything you learn. Over one intensive day, you’ll go beyond basic H5P content types and learn to design scalable, measurable learning resources for real-world application. Here’s what we cover:

• Advanced instructional design using activity mapping, learner personas, and backward design alignment.
• Creating interactive content like quizzes, dialogue cards, and branching scenarios that support deeper learning.
• Embedding multimedia assets such as video, animation, and audio into H5P activities properly (without sacrificing accessibility or page speed).
• Gamification tactics to improve participation, using badges, points, progress bars, and tactical drag-and-drop elements.
• Building micro-credential pathways and mapping competencies using Moodle™ settings and H5P content triggers.
• Optimising your LMS by making the most out of H5P integration within your Moodle™ setup.

H5P Content Types You’ll Master

The real strength of H5P lies in its versatility. Throughout the Pukunui training, we walk you through a series of interactive H5P content types and when to use them, including:

Tips for Using the H5P Plugin Effectively

Using the H5P plugin inside Moodle™ isn’t difficult-but using it well requires thoughtful setup. Here’s what often separates great interactive content from the not-so-great:

• Name and describe activities clearly-don’t leave learners guessing what they’re supposed to do.
• Use immediate feedback carefully-not every wrong answer needs a scolding popup!
• Limit distractions in longer course presentations or interactive videos.
• Plan assessment paths that map to competencies so your H5P content supports measurable outcomes.

Building a Better Learning Experience Through Gamification

Gamification deserves more than slapped-on points. When designed well, it creates immersive, high-stakes environments that drive motivation-and yes, fun. In our training, you’ll learn how to:

• Use progress indicators to reduce learner anxiety (people like knowing how far they’ve come!)
• Design low-stakes games that build confidence before formal assessment
• Line up badge systems and activity completion rules within Moodle™

And no-we don’t mean turning your course into Super Mario, but that would be… oddly engaging?

Competency-Based eLearning With H5P and Moodle™

Organisations want proof of learning, not just participation. That’s where competency frameworks and micro-credentials come in. Our tutors show you how to:

• Link H5P quizzes and drag-and-drop tasks with measurable performance criteria
• Configure your Moodle™ LMS to support learning paths and automatic issuing of credentials
• Track progress through outcome-based dashboards

This turns your training from passive instruction to a structured growth pathway.

Creating Interactive Course Presentations

When you want more than a glorified slideshow, the course presentation tool in H5P delivers. It combines visuals, quizzes, and custom navigation layouts-perfect for self-paced tutorials. You’ll learn how to:

• Build a linear sequence with guided instruction and built-in check-ins
• Embed explanations using video, audio narrations, or downloadable PDFs
• Use branching logic to let learners “choose their own path”

Who Should Attend the Pukunui H5P Training?

We’ve tailored this training to suit professionals in the trenches of digital learning and teaching:

• Instructional designers working on Moodle™ eLearning projects
• Trainers and educators needing bespoke content types
• eLearning managers looking to embed micro-credentials and competency mappings
• Educational technologists aiming to scale interactive solutions

Bonus Tip: If your team manages multiple LMS platforms (we see you, WordPress and Drupal users), H5P activities can often be reused across systems. One build, many homes.

What Makes Pukunui Different?

We’ve been in the trenches of training for longer than H5P has existed-and we know real-world outcomes matter more than flashy features. Our sessions are:

• Hands-on, not sit-and-listen-each module includes practice time
• Evaluator-friendly-we focus on measurable outcomes, assessment alignment, and the full learner cycle
• Led by experts who understand H5P inside-out, including best practices for accessibility, embeddability, and performance

Need-to-Know Actionables for Implementing H5P

If you want to walk away from our training and actually use what you’ve learned, these are the steps to focus on first:

1. Install the H5P plugin and make sure it’s properly configured in your Moodle™ site.
2. Create a sandbox course to experiment with different content types like interactive video and drag-and-drop.
3. Map a single module’s objectives against available H5P activities. Ask: which type best suits each learning goal?
4. Test with real learners and get feedback before scaling across courses.

FAQs About H5P Training for elearning

What is the purpose of H5P in education?

H5P allows educators to create interactive HTML5 learning content easily. It enhances student engagement and supports various learning styles by allowing learners to participate in the content rather than passively consume it.

Can I use H5P for free?

Yes, H5P is open-source and free to use. You can either use it via supported platforms like Moodle™, Drupal, or WordPress or access it through H5P.com with additional features for a fee.

How to create H5P activities?

Once the H5P plugin is installed in your LMS (e.g., Moodle™), you can create activities by selecting a content type, inputting your content, and saving it directly to your course. No coding required.

Is H5P an LMS?

No, H5P is not a Learning Management System. It is a tool for creating interactive content. It must be used within an LMS like Moodle™, or via an H5P-compatible platform to deliver courses.
