H5P ( h5p.org) makes it easy for teachers to create, share and reuse HTML5 content and applications. It is simple for teacheres to create rich and interactive web experiences– all they need is a web browser and a web site with an H5P plugin. The H5P plugin can be installed on Canvas, Moodle, WordPress and many other LMS/CMS platforms.

Teachers can create interactive videos, games, presentations, drag and drop images, charts, image hot spots, timelines and much more. Visit the h5p site to view examples of the interactive content. You can preview and explore the content types

Best of all, H5P is completely free and open technology. And all content available on h5p.org is licensed under the Creative Commons 4.0 license.

This video shows some of the types of content that you can create with H5P.
