This is a contributed content type plugin that imports Moodle resources for use in the Content bank. It currently supports creating H5P from questions in the Moodle Question bank.
Currently this plugin supports four standard Moodle question types: Essay, Multiple Choice, Short Answer, and True/False. They can be imported individually as Essay, Multiple Choice, Guess the Answer, and True/False H5P content types:
- Moodle's Essay question type -> H5P Essay resource
- Moodle's Multiple Choice question type -> H5P Multiple Choice resource
- Moodle's Short answer question type -> H5P Guess the Answer resource
- Moodle's True/False question type -> H5P True False question resource
Questions in a directory can be imported collectively to create a Column, Single Choice Set, Dialog Cards or Flash Cards content types. After creation, the content types can be edited in the Content bank as normal H5P content and combined with other content through copy and paste.
Download
Currently (July 2021) the code for this plugin can be downloaded only from the author's GitHub page at https://github.com/dthies/moodle-contenttype_repurpose . We hope this plugin will soon be available in the familiar Moodle plugins database.
Installation
Follow the standard procedure described in Installing_plugins#Installing_via_uploaded_ZIP_file the documentation.
Use
After installation, teachers may create interactive content in the Content bank by clicking the Add button, and then choosing one of the Repurpose resources content types from the drop down menu to open the editor, and selecting questions and other options in the editor and saving. The new content created from the question will now appear in the Content bank.
Capabilities
contenttype/repurpose:upload Upload resources to use in content
contenttype/repurpose:useeditor Create content using the with repurpose resources tools
Potential privacy issues
H5P is inherently less secure than the Moodle Question bank. Care should be taken not to unintentionally share controlled test questions or otherwise restricted content.
