Settings for CourseArc

Standard

The standard with which Michigan Virtual courses need to comply.

For courses that are built in CourseArc, always use the CourseArc version of a content type if available (ie. use a CourseArc accordion rather than an H5P accordion) unless the H5P version offers relevant features that are not available in CourseArc.

If using H5P content in CourseArc, it will be embedded in an HTML content block. An H5P may be added to other blocks, such as hotspots and matching, but note that it may take additional time to edit the html within the block items.

 

Requirements

What exactly do course developers need to include in order to comply with this standard?

H5P content needs to be published before it can be embedded in CourseArc or Brightspace. Publish as Public for embedding, such as CourseArc.

The Toolbar should be removed from the content for PLS only.

H5P Content should be embedded in an HTML content block in CourseArc
