H5P Interactive Content Teams Integration
H5P has wonderful HTML5 interactive objects that bring delight to any digital content creating teacher's heart. With many educators committing to Ms Teams for blended learning delivery, the challenge is how can one bring this content into Ms Teams? Now for some good news/bad news. Microsoft has just announced that it is now possible to embed H5P interactive content right into OneNote. Unfortunately, this is only possible using content which is hosted on H5P.com (related to H5P.org) which is a paid SaaS (Software as a Service) platform. The yearly amount is not trivial (starting at $570 for three authors) and for many would be a hurdle too high. However, there is a way to integrate H5P content hosted on your own WordPress or Drupal (CMS) H5P enabled site, with Ms Teams. A word of caution here: I'm not referring to WordPress sites that are hosted on WordPress.com. I'm referring to WordPress installations that are hosted by Web hosting companies such as Bluehost. You may already have such a site or you could sign up to a web hosting company and create one. The cost will be much less than $570 per annum. The way to integrate self hosted H5P content is to embed it on a SharePoint page as an Embed web part. There are a couple of settings that you need to change to make this to work. The best (and easiest) explanation I have found for making these settings is by Greg at the SharePoint Maven. I also changed the "Allow custom scripts" setting for my tenant. See my post here. Obviously this approach is based on the SharePoint integration with Ms Teams, where you can then add your SharePoint pages as tabs to your Teams channels. The upshot of all this is that it is possible to integrate the wonderful interactive content from H5P with Ms Teams!
Class Teams and hidden membership
Hi All, I wonder if someone can help? We are looking at using Teams to conduct offenders rehabilitation training online and we need to keep participants contact details private. I have done some research and regular Teams does not seam to support this function but I was hoping the Education version does, particularly because it offers base templates such as 'class'. According to Microsoft this sets team visibility to hidden membership but does not explain this further and after many hours of Goggle I can't find a definitive answer. Do any of you know whether this template hides participants email addresses and contact info? Thanks in advance....oh and if you know of another work around I would be really happy to hear it. Many thanks.
assignment using classnotebook page not posting
I have create a simple class notebook page and attached it as a "reference" for my students to use. This has worked many, many times, and even in other teams for this same page. However, the assignment is not posting into the assignments menu. It is populating into the students notebooks however, and can be accessed that way. Unfortunately, without the assignment option, there is no easy way to track who is done, and to notify them that it's to be done at all 😞 When I go to view the assignment it's available to edit, delete, and update with all fields. But when waiting for the studnet status page all i get is: We're distributing your assignment to students now... Please check back soon. Other assignments not involving the class notebook post just fine, and it posts fine to a notebook in a different team 😕 edit: I think i've found the cause: In an effort to clean up my class notebook i deleted students confirmed to have left the district from my team, and from the class notebook. I believe the assignments process is trying to populate the notebook page into the missing student section groups, and is waiting to complete until that happens. Which it never will :(. I can currently find no way to fix this. I'd like to either clear the students off the assignment process from here out, or reset the notebook to populate with only current team members so the two things processes agree.
