Aggregation: An H5P Superpower for combining features

H5P Activity Types are like modular, pre-made building blocks, managed and distributed by H5P from a worldwide community of developers. You can add activities individually, or you can combine them to create richer challenges for your learners.

Aggregation is a Superpower

Some H5P activities are actually aggregators. Each aggregator activity in H5P can contain other H5P activities in it. This lets you combine activities to create more complex challenges, with richer presentations.

For example:

• Column lets you combine up to 26 H5P activities in a vertical sequence (similar in shape to a Moodle Quiz)
• Course Presentation lets you combine almost 20 kinds of H5P activities into a slideshow format (similar to PowerPoint).
• Interactive Book lets you combine many kinds of H5P activities into a book-like format (similar to Moodle's Book Module).
• Interactive Video lets you apply up to 16 H5P activities as overlays during video playback, letting you pause and challenge Students while they watch.
• Quiz (Question Set) lets you combine 7 different question types into a continuous sequence.

Which Aggregator to use

At VCC, the most popular aggregator activity in H5P has been "Course Presentation", although "Column", "Interactive Video", and "Interactive Book" are all well-used. It's really up to you which content you put into your activities, and how you decide to combine them to create complex challenges for your students.
