H5P
H5P (HTML5 Package) is a TU Delft Supported tool for educators and support staff. It enables them to enhance the effectiveness of online or blended learning by adding interactive and multimedia elements.
H5P is available by default for all Brightspace courses.
Content types are the main features of H5P. Because of them, users can efficiently perform the following tasks:
- Use branching scenarios, interactive videos, drag-and-drop activities, and image hotspots in your courses.
- Create engaging and interactive learning experiences without requiring any coding skills.
- Create and embed interactive learning materials.
- Create self-paced learning materials or assessments.
Teaching Support has developed a guide to help you learn more about H5P's content types. You can find it below, along with relevant links and a few brief examples.
First time use
When you want to use H5P for the first time, always go through Brightspace to create an account.

- Click Upload/Create a file.
- Select Insert Stuff
- Click on the H5P tab.
An account at H5P will be created for you.
After this, you will be able to create content inside or outside Brightspace.
If you wish to create a lot of content or create content in a dedicated environment, we advise you to work directly in H5P and outside the Brightspace environment. You can use your SSO (Single Sign-On) to log into H5P using this link: https://tudelft.h5p.com/.
