Creating content in Pressbooks is similar to using Microsoft Word or Wordpress. Users can add rich content (text, images, and embedded videos), and users can also add interactive HTML5-based activities directly in Pressbooks using the H5P plugin. This document outlines the process of creating these H5P activities and adding them to standard Pressbooks content.

1. Before making H5P content in Pressbooks, you will need to activate the H5P plugin within your Pressbook by navigating to the Plugins page. From your Pressbooks dashboard, click on Plugins, and then click on Activate under the H5P entry.
   
   
2. Now that you've activated H5P, click on the H5P Content menu option in the left navigation ribbon.
3. Click the Add new button at the top of the page.
   • If this is the first time H5P content is being created in the book, the user will see a message which reads: "To be able to start creating interactive content you must first install at least one content type. The H5P Hub is here to simplify this process by automatically installing the content types you choose and providing updates for those already installed."
   • Users must click the I consent, give me the Hub! button in order to proceed.
4. The H5P “Select content type” drop-down menu will be displayed. You can use this menu to select the specific H5P content type you would like to create. The first time you use a new content type, the menu option will say Get. You will first need to click Get and then Install. Once it is installed, you can click Use.
   • Content types which have already been installed will have a blue Details button instead. Content types with an update available will have a "update available note" to the left of the details button. By clicking on the details button for those entries, users can then update that content type by clicking on the Update button. 
5. Fill in the details on the H5P module. For example, if you create a multiple choice question, it will ask you to add the question, answer options, and click the checkbox to indicate which answer is correct. It is also recommended that you develop tips and feedback for each answer option. For more information on authoring with H5P, please refer to H5P's documentation.
6. Check or uncheck the Display Options on the right depending on how you want the H5P module to function. Configurable options include:
   • Display toolbar below content
   • Display Download button
   • Display Embed button
   • Display Copyright button
7. When you’re done configuring your H5P module, click the Create button on the right. Pressbooks will display a preview of your H5P module that you can test.
8. Once you have created H5P content and are ready to add it to a chapter within your book, navigate to the edit page for that chapter. Once you're in the chapter where you'd like to add the activity, click into the place on the page where you want to the H5P activity to appear, and then click the Add H5P button in the Pressbooks editor. A window will pop up allowing you to choose the specific H5P activity you would like to add.
