Interactive Content

Interactive content in Moodle refers to any content that allows learners to engage with the material in an active way, rather than simply passively reading or watching. This can include a variety of activities, such as:

  • Drag and drop: Learners drag and drop items to the correct location, such as matching terms to definitions or placing objects on a map
  • fill in the blank: Learners fill in the missing words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph.
  • Image hotspot: Learners click on different parts of an image to reveal information or answer questions.
  • Interactive video: Learners watch a video and answer questions, complete activities, or make choices that affect the outcome of the video.
  • Quiz: Learners answer a series of questions to assess their understanding of the material.

Interactive content can be created using a variety of tools, including:

  • H5P: H5P is a free and open-source content creation tool that offers a wide variety of interactive content types.

  • LTI tools: LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is a standard that allows Moodle to integrate with a variety of third-party tools, including many that offer interactive content.

  • Custom development: Experienced Moodle developers can create custom interactive content types.
