Timeline

  1. H5P Timeline content type is not maintained by the H5P core team, therefor this content type should be used at your own risk.
  2. To add a media resource (image, video, audio file) to the timeline, the resource first has to be hosted on an online platform (Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, Wikipedia, Google Maps and SoundCloud are currently supported) and then a link to the resource is to be added. 
  3. Adding thumbnails is not recommended, as they appear very small. If thumbnail will be used, the image width has to equal its length and a recommended resolution is 32 x 32 pixels.
  4. Default zoom level is set as 0. To expand the timeline select numbers greater than 0, to shrink the timeline select negative numbers.

The Chase (in-class live quiz game)

Behavioural settings

  1. Check the Allow navigating freely back and forth checkbox to allow students to use the arrows to navigate, rather than a Submit button which is somewhat confusing as it sends them to the next page.

Settings for "Check" and "Show Solution"

  1. Check the Show "Check" button checkbox as this is the only way students are able to see if they got the question correct or incorrect. 

  2. The Select Disabled from the Override "Show Solution" button dropdown to hide the Show Solution button from students and go through the correct answers at the end. 

Publish

Option 1: Game code (no analytics)

The instructor will go to uq.h5p.com and select The Chase from their content library. This will generate a new game code for students who can navigate to go.h5p.com and enter the game code to join.

As students will be navigating to a URL and entering a game code to access The Chase, there is no way to identify them, therefore no student reporting data will be available.

  • Ensure Public is selected in the Publish settings. 

Option 2: Learn.UQ embed (analytics available)

The instructor will need to either link or embed The Chase within Learn.UQ for both themselves and students to access The Chase.

As students will be clicking on an LTI link in Learn.UQ (Blackboard) to access The Chase, their student reporting data will be available in H5P reports and in Grade Centre if linked, rather than embedded. 

  • Ensure Protected is selected in the Publish settings. 

Collaborators

Anyone who needs to run the game live will need to be added as a Collaborator. If The Chase will be run with more than one group of students by different leaders, it will need to be cloned and the corresponding leaders will need to be added as Collaborators to game they will be running. 

Option 1: Run through H5P (no analytics)

If The Chase is being run in through H5P (i.e. not through Learn.UQ), once the leader has been added as a Collaborator, they will see the game appear in their Shared with me section in H5P which they can simply click on to run live. 

Option 2: Run through Learn.UQ (analytics available)

If The Chase is being run through Learn.UQ (i.e. linked or embedded in Learn.UQ), the leader will need to click on their corresponding linked version of The Chase in Learn.UQ to which they would have been added to as a Collaborator.

Note: It is recommended that clear naming conventions are used (e.g. The Chase - Tutorial Group 2) so there is no confusion about which link the leader or students will need to click on.
