Dialog Cards


Dialog Cards enable you to create a set of cards with corresponding words or expressions on either side of the cards. 

Dialog cards can be used to help learners memorize words, expressions or sentences.  They provide a prompt on one side of the card, and a corresponding answer on the other side. 

Dialog cards are often used in language learning for drilling words and expressions.

Dialog cards can also be used to present math problems or help learners remembering facts such as historical events, formulas or names. 

Accessing H5P in Canvas

You can access H5P in Canvas through the Rich Content Editor (RCE), which is accessible via the edit view of Page, Assignment, Discussion Board, Announcement and Quiz questions. 

For this example, we will be adding H5P onto a Canvas page. The first thing you will need to do is either open the page you want to embed the H5P content into or create a new page. Then click the ‘Edit’ button which will open the RCE. (You will automatically go into edit mode if you create a new page.) 

Next, you will need to locate H5P in the RCE toolbar by clicking on the H5P icon.

Clicking on that menu item will open a pop-up showing your H5P library. From here, you will have the option to either insert previously created content or create something new. 



Select the Add Content option. A search bar will appear.  

Type Dialog Cards and select this from the list of options that appear.
