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!24KViews4likes12CommentsTeams Vs Moodle Vs Google Classroom?
I work at a school and Ms Teams for Education is definitely a viable option for providing blended learning. I would like to hear more from tertiary institutions. Do you think that Ms Teams is a viable replacement for Moodle? What would you consider as pro's and con's? I know of an institution that would like to start a new private university and they were considering their options for an LMS. So far they are favoring Moodle due to its maturity, rich features and customizability. While we are on the topic, how would Teams compare with Google Classroom, especially after the new features that are being rolled out? Has anybody moved from Google Classroom to Teams for Education? I don't seem to find a creditable comparison anywhere - especially not a recent one.Solved76KViews3likes18CommentsCreate a SharePoint Course Page in Teams
Recently, thanks to Dr David Kellerman, I discovered how easy it is to build a SharePoint course page in Microsoft Teams. Well, actually you build it in SharePoint and add it as a tab to Teams. One of the gripes that teachers had with the Teams interface is that there is no way to organize your content e.g. posting work that has to be done. When you do that in a post - it quickly gets lost in the conversation. I'm aware that you can "pin" PowerPoints and all sorts of documents to your channel tabs - but somehow that is not quite what they looked for. Creating a quick SharePoint page for a particular channel is just what is needed to fill that gap. Here Dr Kellerman explains how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CniQZhpp83USolved5.1KViews3likes10CommentsClass Teams Assignments Statistics
Does anyone know of any way to pull assignment statistics from class teams using PowerBI or Graph or equiv? Our School exec's want to see the usage of Teams and how many students are returning work etc. I cant see any PowerBI or Graph extensions for Teams classes so I don't have high hopes. I'm aware of the usage graph however am looking for specific data regarding assignments.2.2KViews2likes3CommentsMicrosoft Teams in Education tips and guides
