Creating an Image Slider

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 more external tools icon.


Image Placeholder

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 New content option and choose Image Slider from the list of Content types:

Creating content

In the section "Images" click "Add image" and upload your first image. For "Alternative text" write down the description of the image, for example, "Table with Thai Food." You should get something like this:



To add the next image, click "Add item" button. Repeat the same process for the rest. In the end, you should have 4 groups in "Images" section.
