Classic Assessment Tools

H5P allows you to create different types of quiz and assessment tools that can be used formatively for students to check their own word and summatively for a score. These tools are similar to other assessment tools you may have used in the past. For most of these question types, you can add multimedia (videos and images) that go along with the question or topic. For each of the types below, they are single questions.

Multiple Choice
Single Choice Set [allows multiple questions that only have one answer each question).
True / False

Quiz (Question Set) allows you to create longer quizzes and combine mutlipe question types.

You can add multimedia choice, drag and drop, mark the words, and drag the word questions to question sets, too.

These can be created as formative assessments (after students read something they can check their own understanding that is not for a score). These can also be added for a score in Canvas using the "assignments" option. Remember, that you will not be able to see what students answered or see their work, you will just get a score at the end of their submission. If you want to be able to see the work students are doing, use the quiz or assignment feature in Canvas.

When to Use:

These activities are great for when you want students to check their understanding and see how they are doing. At times, people can feel like they are understanding something, but when they are asked to apply the concept, they struggle. Having check-in points where people can see if they are really understanding can be helpful. Making them non-scored and low stakes decreases the anxiety about them.

Settings to be aware of:

The settings allow you to provide hints (before they answer) and also feedback once students select. These can be affirmations when they get the correct answer or redirections when they are incorrect. You can also give feedback at the end of the question set based on how they did.

There a multiple other settings you can adjust (allowing retries, showing the solution or not, how points are assigned, pass percentage...). You can decide how to engage with those options.

Other things to know:

These quizzes can be added to Canvas pages as more formative information for students. If you want the LMS to collect scores and put them in your gradebook, you need to add the assignment through the "assignments" page and select "external tool" as the submisssion type.
