📌 Requirement: Pressbooks Results activated at the network level.
From August to December 2024, Pressbooks is conducting a pilot program to validate and improve Pressbooks Results, followed by general availability in January 2025. If you are interested in participating in this pilot, please contact your account manager.

Configuring a Pressbooks chapter as a graded assignment before bringing it into your learning management system (LMS) ensures that when students attempt gradable H5P activities in the chapter, their scores will be sent to the LMS gradebook.

Make sure there are gradable H5P activities in the chapter

In order to configure a chapter (or front/back matter) as a graded assignment, you’ll need to have one or more gradable H5P activities in your chapter.

For instructions on creating and embedding new H5P activities into chapters of a Pressbooks book, see this guide chapter. If you clone a Pressbooks book containing H5P activities, customizable local copies of the activities will automatically be imported into your book as part of the cloning process.

While there are over 50 different types of H5P activities that you can include in your book, not all of them can send grades to the LMS. Only the H5P activity types listed below can be configured for use with Pressbooks Results. Items with asterisks are not recommended for use with Results due to accessibility or usability concerns:

Include H5P activities for scoring

H5P activities in a chapter are listed in the LMS Grade reporting panel below the chapter editor. If you’ve just added the H5P activities into the chapter, press the Save button to save the chapter and the H5P activities will appear in this panel. If you don’t see this panel, contact your network manager to ask that Pressbooks Results be activated for your network.

From the LMS Grade reporting panel, click the checkbox for each H5P activity you’d like to include for scoring in your LMS course.

While an H5P activity is checked, student attempts of that activity from the LMS are automatically scored and used to calculate their assignment grade.

Unchecking an H5P activity removes it from scoring; while an H5P activity is unchecked, if a student attempts the activity, they won’t receive a score for it.

Note: H5P activity types that do not support automatic grading cannot be checked for inclusion in scoring in the panel.

Select a Grading Scheme

Grading Scheme appears in the LMS Grade Reporting box below the listed H5P activities. It can be set to First attempt, Average, or Best attempt. This grading scheme determines how students are scored on H5P activities within the chapter/assignment.

In an assignment set to First attempt, the score a student receives when first attempting a given H5P activity in the assignment is saved as their score for that H5P activity.

In an assignment set to Average, a student’s average score for each of their attempts of a given H5P activity is saved as their score for that H5P activity.

In an assignment set to Best attempt, a student’s highest score out of the scores for each of their attempts of a given H5P activity is saved as their score for that H5P activity.
