Exporting H5P responses

Plugins
1

Hey all,

I am working with a professor who teaches a language course. She’d like to include H5P activities in which students answer an essay question and then either export the full essay answer to email to the prof, or submit the text so it reaches the Canvas grade book. Here’s what I’ve tried and how it’s gone:

-The essay question type scores by counting words, not by sending the full text of the answer.
-The documentation type doesn’t have a save/export feature, despite what it says on the H5P website
-The questionnaire type doesn’t exist in Pressbooks’ version of H5P.

Any other solutions you can think of?

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi @lhmckeen these are great questions. In order to use Questionnaire activities, you have to have a Learning Record Store set up (to receive and visualize these kinds of responses). We did a fair amount of work last year to better understand how we might be able to record and visualize these kinds of ‘qualitative’ responses for instructors during last year’s Results pilot, and I believe it will be part of our product discovery and user research in the upcoming pilot as well. @Michelle_Weremczuk (our UX designer) is probably be the best person at Pressbooks to discuss this use case with.

Thanks for your answer. I am glad to hear it will be part of this year’s pilot (the faculty member who wants to use it is taking part in the pilot). Can you or @Michelle_Weremczuk tell me more about Learning Record Store and how to set it up?

Hi @lhmckeen, I think my previous answer may have been misleading in its incompleteness. While open source users could set up their own LRS and configure their network to send data there, we found that this was overkill and much too complicated for nearly all of our users. In the previous pilot, we focused instead on logging responses to selected H5P activities types directly to our server and then providing instructors with a ‘Pressbooks Results viewer’ that helped them see and analyze the individual responses provided by students. The initial approach we took last year turned out to be troublesome in a few important ways, so our team totally rebuilt the solution from the ground up and have just launched a first iteration for instructors to try out this term. The initial release does not include the ability for instructors to see individual student answers on ‘essay’ activities, but that is the kind of feature that we expect might be built into future iterations, depending on the results of our user research (do enough instructors say that this is valuable to them? Is there a consistent format that they want to see this kind of information? etc).

Got it. Thanks for your quick reply. I do hope that function can be built out in the future (and that others who take part in user research agree!)

Hi Steel,

Is there a way to see results for any H5P types in a way that is native to Pressbooks? Or, do faculty need to link to an LMS?

Thank you,
