I didn’t release new H5P stuff for quite a while, did I? Let’s change that. For starters, here is yet another small H5P content type that certainly will find some fans: Chat Simulator. It was sponsored by IG Metall, a German trade union.
That content above essentially told you everything that’s to know:
- Add messages for sender and receiver. Yes, emojis are a thing.
- Set name, photos and colors.
- Set autostart or manual controls.
- Define what the vertical growth behavior should be like.
Want to use it already?
The H5P core team as asked to review the content type, and when they find time, they should release it on the H5P Hub.
If you want to use the content type right away, look for the Reuse button underneath the content. Use that button to download the demo content, and then upload the .h5p file onto your H5P enabled platform. Please note that you will need to have permission to install H5P libraries. Otherwise, you cannot install the content type this way. In that case, your system admin will need to assist you.
The source code is available as well, if you want to check it before installing or if you want to build the libraries yourself:
Is it available in my language?
In theory: yes! If it’s missing, you can fill in the gaps yourself.
Any future plans for that content type?
I know you want to share your ideas. Please keep in mind though, that I was merely the contractor! I do not have the intention to develop it further in my spare time beyond fixing hidden bugs or general maintenance. But if you want to sponsor new features: Reach out!
