We will now look at one particular question type in more detail, to get you ready to create your first H5P activity.

Let’s start by exploring one of the simplest types: a True/False Question.

In this activity type, a learner reads a statement and has to choose between a pair of responses. These responses are usually True or False, but other pairs are possible, such as Yes/No or Agree/Disagree.

This activity can be used to test a learner’s knowledge of facts or their ability to conduct a basic analysis of a short text. Because there are only two options for the learner’s response, this type of question is not usually suitable for assessing deep learning, but can be useful to give learners quick feedback on their learning and to help them identify gaps in their knowledge or understanding.

Let’s examine how a True/False Question works for a learner, by looking at the example below.

Activity: Answer a True/False Question

Do the simple H5P activity below, pretending you are a learner who doesn’t know the answer to the question.

1. Give the answer ‘False’ by selecting the False button (this is the wrong answer).
2. Select Check to find out if your answer was correct.
3. Notice the automated response that appears for a wrong answer:
   • A cross by the ‘False’ button.
   • A recommendation that you revisit the relevant learning materials.
   • The option to Show solution or Retry.
4. Select Retry – this clears your answer and allows you to try again.
5. This time, select True (the correct answer) and click Check again.
6. Notice the simple, encouraging feedback.
