Recommended Content Types

Before creating an H5P, check H5Ps content type recommendations page and only use content types that are accessible, maintained by the core team, have full browser support, and are scorable (if required). The Essay content block is the only exception to this rule. For courses that are built in CourseArc, always use the CourseArc version of a content type if available unless the H5P version offers relevant features that are not available in CourseArc

Headings/Page Structure

Heading structures will be concise, descriptive, and appropriately nested to impart information about the architecture of the course content. This standard applies to any and all Web pages, course content, documents, or interactives developed for learners. It’s also good practice to follow these guidelines for internal documents and those documents or resources shared with external partners.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks should be written using descriptive link text. This means that the purpose of the link can be determined from the link text alone and a user would not need to rely upon additional context to determine the purpose or function of a link. If a link opens in a new window or leads to a specific document type, that should be indicated in the link text.
