Create
The Studio’s workbench: choose a source, pick your activity types, and review the drafts. Includes a real sample of every activity type it can build.
Where the material can come from
- Drop in the passage directly. Best when you want tight control over exactly what the activities are built from.
- Name a topic and let it write the source material first. Useful when you have nothing to hand.
PDF, Word, PowerPoint (speaker notes included) or EPUB, up to 15 MB each — and up to five files in one run, kept apart by filename. Diagrams inside them are extracted and captioned, so they can be reused inside the activities.
- Photo or scan
A photographed page or a scanned PDF with no text layer. The text is read off the page, and the page itself is kept as a figure. If a photo is too blurry to read, it says so — retake it in better light.
- From the library
- Pick a subject and chapter and build straight from the study notes the platform already holds — nothing to upload at all.
- Paste a link. Required if you want an Interactive video, where questions appear on the video at the right moments.
- Point at a URL and it reads the page content.
- Audio or video
- Upload a recorded lesson. It is transcribed first, then treated like any other source.
- You can edit the extracted text before generating. Trimming boilerplate — running heads, copyright notices, exercise answers — noticeably improves what comes out.
Output language
Activities can be generated in 15 languages — English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Urdu, French, Spanish, German and Arabic — or left on Auto-detect to follow the source.
What it builds — Course material
These are the teaching and reference outputs — things a learner reads, revises from, or works through. Every sample below was generated from the same chemistry source, so you can see one document expressed many ways.
- Glossary Key terms with definitions, A to Z.
- Summary Pick the correct statement from plausible distractors.
- Lesson plan A ready-to-teach plan with timings and assessment.
- Mini lesson Teaching sections with a check-your-understanding quiz at the end.
- Presentation Slides with check-yourself questions woven in.
- Mindmap The big picture as a branching diagram.
- Accordion An expandable revision reference of the key ideas.
- Interactive book Chapters that teach, closing with a final quiz.
Cornell notes Study material on one side, cue / notes / summary boxes on the other — with prompts written for your topic, not generic advice.
- Timeline Dated events on a scrollable strip. Offered when your material actually contains dates — it never invents a year to fill a gap.
- Information wall A searchable grid comparing items field by field — the same properties for every entry, with a filter box on top.
- Worksheet Guided pages the learner fills in and then exports as their own document — an investigation log, a revision sheet, a project plan.
Chart Your material’s figures as a pie or bar chart. Every value must appear in the source, digit for digit — it will not estimate or invent numbers.
What it builds — Interactive activities
- These are the do-it outputs — activities a class answers. Scored ones report back to the gradebook when added to a course.
- Quiz Multiple choice, true/false and fill-in-the-blanks.
- Flashcards Learners type short answers to recall questions.
- Dialog cards Flip cards — prompt on the front, answer on the back.
- Drag the words Drag missing words back into sentences.
- Mark the words Click the right words in a short passage.
- Sort the steps Put a process back in the right order.
- Find the definition Read a definition, pick the matching term.
- Open question A rich open answer, scored on key points.
Structure strip A writing scaffold: coloured bands stacked down the page, one per section of the piece to write, each sized to how much belongs there.
- Fill in the blanks A cloze passage — the learner types the missing terms back in, with tips and accepted alternatives.
- Select all that apply One question with several correct answers. For single-answer questions, use the quiz.
- True or false A single statement to judge. Use the quiz when you want several.
Survey Unscored questions — what the class already knows, how confident they feel, what they want explained. A prior-knowledge check before a topic or a reflection after it. Say it out loud The learner answers by speaking, and the browser checks the answer. Works in Chrome and Edge with a microphone; speech recognition follows the output language, including Hindi, Tamil and other Indian languages.
- Study router A short diagnostic where each answer votes for a part of the topic — the learner is told where to start revising.
What it builds — Image activities
Activities built around pictures. Illustrations come from openly-licensed sources or are generated; where the picture is the answer, only figures from your own document are used.
- Guess the answer One picture, a question about it, and a reveal — the prompt is answerable from the picture, not from memory alone.
- Memory game Turn cards to find the pairs; matching a pair reveals a one-line explanation of what it shows.
Picture question The answer options are pictures, taken only from your document’s own figures — so it needs a source with at least three figures in it.
What it builds — Extras
- Crossword Key terms as an interlocking puzzle.
Word search Find the key terms hidden in a letter grid. A light-touch revision warm-up built from the same term list as the glossary and crossword. Interactive video Questions pop up on the video at the right moments. Needs a YouTube source — paste the link on the source step, and the generated markers appear along the video’s timeline.
Reviewing drafts
- Open the activity exactly as a learner will see it. Nothing is recorded.
- Review images
See every figure the activity uses and swap any of them — for one extracted from your document, one from your media library, or a freshly generated illustration.
- Open the full H5P editor. Rewrite questions, fix answers, adjust wording — this is the standard editor, not a cut-down one.
- Remove the draft from your H5P Library. You are asked to confirm first, because edits made in the H5P editor cannot be recovered.
- Regenerate just this activity type. Everything else you generated in the run is left untouched.
- Always preview before assigning. The Studio is good, but it is reading your source — if the source is ambiguous, the questions can be too.
