Creating content

This article will look at how to create new content in Edlib.

Click the Create content button on the top left of the page to start creating content. If you only have one LTI-tool such as Content Author for H5P interactive content, you will be sent directly to this editing tool. If there are more LTI-tools configured on your Edlib, you'll be presented with a page displaying these entries from which you enter to create the type of content you want.

Creating new content

Example from Gamilab.com where the user can choose between creating various H5P content, or a adding questions to a mini game.

H5P interactive content​

The H5P interactivities will probably be your most-used category. Here you will find most of the supported H5P's in Edlib's catalog. You can approach creating your own interactive content in three ways:

Create from scratch​

The default choice is to create your resource from scratch. Start by choosing which H5P type you want to use. You can use the search bar to search for a specific resource from the list below. Clicking Details let you see a more detailed description of the H5P type, including pictures and a link to an example of the H5P type. For more info on editing an H5P, see Editing an Edlib Resource.

Question sets are good tools for creating quizzes. If you want to put some extra flair to your quiz, you can create mini-games where the quizzes are run, making them extra fun and interesting. Gamilab.com has put together their own Millionaire mini game for creation of 15 question quizzes:
