Roadmap

These are the goals for the H5P project:
  • Attract a large worldwide community of skilled people who create, use and share H5P-libraries with each other
  • Facilitate worldwide sharing of a large variety of HTML-based content and technologies
  • Make it easy for content creators to deliver and publish HTML content on different CMS, LMS, LCMS and other frameworks
  • Contribute to better HTML5 content by making it even easier to cooperate and reuse great web technology
Planned for next release
  • 3+ surprises, launched during the H5P Conference

We're working on a public Jira board.
Upcoming major features Please note that this list is in random order and is not intended to be comprehensive. For most of these features, no timetable has been established for when the feature will be added. Some may appear in updates in the next few months while others may not be added for years. The time to implementation and priority order for each of these features depends on a number of variable factors, including code contributions from community members, available funding and staff resources The best way to ensure that a feature you care about is implemented quickly is to support it by contributing your time, skills, or financial resources to the project.

  1. In-place/inline editing (H5P.com)
  2. Contracts (instead of developers listing libraries that may be used in libraries.json on semantics.json they'll list contract(s) and all libraries implementing that contract may be used, for instance questiontypes will implement the questiontype 1.0 contract and Interactive Videos will support all libraries implementing the questiontype 1.0 contract)
  3. Add-ons (a library that adds to other libraries or contracts, for instance a skin for the CoursePresentation library)
  4. Backend evaluation of answers (H5P.com)
  5. Image resizing and cropping (H5P.com)
  6. Allow content created on your site to be shared on a global H5P Hub with a single click
  7. Allow users to browse and reuse content from the H5P Hub without having to download and import activities  as H5P files
  8. Media browser and/or media browser integrations
  9. Multiplayer session APIs (H5P.com)
  10. Android, IOS and Windows apps for playing H5P files offline with xAPI support and other features..
