After creating an H5P activity in the WIU H5P WordPress site, it’s now time to add the H5P activity to a Schoology course. Click here to review the resource, Logging into the WIU H5P WordPress site and creating an H5P activity.

We’ll use the H5P activity’s embed code to add the activity to a Schoology page. The benefit of using the embed code is that any updates you make to the H5P activity in the WIU H5P WordPress site flow to the H5P activity in your Schoology course.

Log into the WIU H5P WordPress site, click H5P Content (1), and then click your activity name (2) to open it.

At the bottom of the H5P activity, click Embed.

Scroll to the top of the page and copy the entire embed code using Ctrl + C (PC) or Cmd + C (Mac).

Notice the size of the H5P activity for this example is 959px W x 1112px H. This may be too large for most devices to easily view the activity; you may want to resize the activity after you add it to the page.

Navigate to your Schoology course and click the chevron to the left of one of your main folders to expand the folder.

Hover your mouse pointer directly below the location where you want to add the page for the H5P activity until you see a green dashed line.

Left-click your mouse, and then click Add Page.

Page Title: Enter the name of your H5P activity in the page title field, which will be displayed inside your folder. At the end of the name, it’s very helpful to add the approximate amount of time it will take students to complete the activity along with the word Ungraded (H5P activities don’t appear in the Schoology gradebook and cannot be graded).

In the content area, if needed, add text to introduce your H5P activity. Below your introductory text, place the cursor where you want to insert the H5P activity.

Click Insert Content (1) from the rich text editor toolbar, and then click Image/Media (2).

Click From the Web tab (1) and then click Media (2).

Paste in the H5P activity’s embed code using Ctrl + V (PC) or Cmd + V (Mac), and then click Insert Media.

Once you're done editing, click Save Changes. After you click Save Changes, you’ll be able to see the H5P activity. If desired, you can resize the H5P activity by editing the page, clicking the yellow rectangle, and dragging the corners in or out.

The H5P activity will now be displayed in the page. If needed, edit the page again to continue adding content or adjusting the activity size.
