Convert PowerPoint to Interactive H5P Content

Static PowerPoint slides are great for in-person presentations, but they fall flat in online learning environments. H5P (HTML5 Package) transforms your slides into interactive, web-based content with quizzes, clickable hotspots, and multimedia β€” perfect for LMS platforms like Moodle, Canvas, and WordPress.


What Is H5P?

H5P is an open-source framework for creating interactive HTML5 content. It runs natively in web browsers and is supported by major learning management systems:

  • Moodle β€” Native H5P support
  • Canvas β€” Via LTI integration
  • WordPress β€” H5P plugin available
  • Blackboard β€” LTI compatible
  • Drupal β€” H5P module available

How to Convert PPTX to H5P

Method 1: Sharayeh AI Converter (Recommended)

  1. Visit PPT to H5P converter
  2. Upload your .pptx file
  3. AI analyzes your slides and suggests interactive elements:
    • Quiz questions from slide content
    • Hotspots for image-heavy slides
    • Accordion panels for text-dense content
    • Drag-and-drop activities for diagrams
  4. Preview and customize interactions
  5. Download as H5P file or embed directly

Method 2: Manual Creation in H5P Editor

  2. Choose "Course Presentation" content type
  3. Manually recreate each slide
  4. Add interactions (quizzes, buttons, hotspots)

Pros: Full control over every interaction.
Cons: Extremely time-consuming for large decks.

Best Practices for Interactive Content
