Using the Textual Editor
Some H5P types allow you to create in the Text editor. This means we can copy and paste the quiz questions into the text editor screen to create the quiz set. This method works well with multiple choice.
The H5P type Question Set allows you to create different kinds of questions within the one quiz, including multiple choice questions.
Create Questions using Textual Editor
Using this method is more efficient.
- It allows is to copy and paste quiz questions in to the editing screen.
- We can also use a GenAI tool to create a question set, or multiple question sets.
- If you are not comfortable with this method you can copy and paste each question and answer into the appropriate data fields in the main H5P default editor interface.
- For reproducing existing H5P use the upload or copy/paste functions.
Creating Multiple Choice
Use the H5P type Question Set.
- Create a title for the quiz
Steps
- After you have added your title, change the view from Default to Textual.

- The textual editing screen allow us to paste question text (created following the tools syntax requirements) that will be then be outputted as a multiple choice question set in H5P
- The following text is for 3 multiple choice questions with 4 possible answers
- the right answer is identified with an *
- the feedback has :: in front.
The Code
Your code should look like this:
According to the Machinery’s Handbook, what is the recommended grade of steel for making gear shift levers?
*1030 :: optimal balance of moderate strength, good ductility, and excellent machinability/formability.
4140
1095
1018What is the approximate tensile strength of a specimen if it has a diameter of 0.625 inches and breaks at 22 000 pounds of stress?
60 000 psi
67 000 psi
*72 000 psi
84 000 psiThe part of a stress-strain diagram that shows the modulus of elasticity is the (blank).
maximum stress.
*slope of the curve in the elastic range. ::Good job! This is the correct answer.
slope of the curve in the plastic range.
yield point.
