Description

Crossroads are an interactive kind of content that can be added to a video in order to pose a multiple choice question and jump to a specific part by timecode depending on the student’s response.

Use

Crossroads are a component type, and can be incorporated into a video. They cannot be used on their own. For more information on how H5P types work and how they interact, see http://humtech.ucla.edu/instructional-support/ccle-activities-resources/h5p/ .

In order to activate Crossroads, you first have to create an Interactive Video assignment through H5P. Once you have uploaded/embedded a video, go to step 2 to add interactive elements such as Crossroads.
