Description

H5P’s Audio content type enables you to upload an audio file or select a URL from which to pull an audio file. It allows you to select a full or minimal player as the user interaction, and it will also allow you to enable controls and autoplay. The user can also download or embed the audio file.

Use

This is a standalone content type and cannot be incorporated into other content types. For more information on how H5P types work and how they interact, see http://humtech.ucla.edu/instructional-support/ccle-activities-resources/h5p/ [currently still refers to CCLE, but will be edited soon to reference Canvas].

Audio provides an alternative mode of content presentation to text and images. It can be used for updates, interviews, sharing feedback for students, or an extension of a discussion after class.
