H5P Smart Import Guide

This guide walks you through using the AI-powered Smart Import feature in ˿����Ƶ’s H5P portal.

Step 1: Sign In to Your PCC H5P Account

1. Open a web browser and navigate to.
2. If prompted, sign in using your standard PCC credentials.
3. You will land on your main H5P author dashboard.

Step 2: Open the Smart Import Hub

1. Locate the top navigation menu or the main action sidebar.
2. Select the menu option labeled “Smart Import” (this option is explicitly named and usually sits between the “Add Content” button and the New Folder options).
   
   
3. On the Smart Import overview screen, click the “Create Content” button to start a fresh project.

Step 3: Provide Your Source Material (Upload Content)

In the new window, select the language for the generated content. You can then feed the AI engine in three different ways. Choose the tab that matches your content:

• Option A: File – Click “Choose File”, select your document (PDF, DOCX, DOC) or audio/video file (MP3, MP4) from your computer, and click “Open”.
• Option B: Link – Select “Link” and paste the URL of a web page, YouTube video, Panopto lecture, or Wikipedia article.
• Option C: Text – Select “Text”, type in a descriptive title, and paste your plain text directly into the box (must be under 400,000 characters).

(Optional Accessibility & Customization Tip): Before proceeding, look for the customization text box. You can type a prompt here to tailor the output to your specific student demographic, such as: “Ensure the vocabulary and question depth are tailored for a 100-level community college introductory course.”

Once your material is loaded, click the “Submit” button. You will see a message indicating the content is being transcribed.

Step 4: Review and Clean the Transcribed Text

1. Wait a moment for the AI engine to finish transcribing and processing your source material.
2. When the status changes to ready, select the “Review Text” menu option next to your import title.
3. Review the text box. Delete any unwanted background noise text, copyright warnings, or broken formatting that might confuse the activity generator.
4. When you are finished editing, click the “Continue” button. You will see an “analyzing” message indicating the file is being processed. Once the file is processed, a “Review Concepts” button will appear. 

Step 5: Select Key Learning Concepts

1. Select the “Review Concepts” menu option.
2. The system will display a list of core terms, definitions, and topics it pulled from your text.
3. Read through the list. Uncheck the boxes next to any minor or irrelevant terms you do not want your students to be tested on.
4. Once you have finalized your key target concepts, click the “Continue” button.

Step 6: Choose Your H5P Activities and Generate

1. Click the “Select Content Types” button.
2. A menu checklist of available H5P activity types (such as Multiple Choice Quiz, Drag the Words, or Interactive Summary) will appear.
3. Check the boxes next to the exact activities you want to build from this text.
4. Click the “Generate Content” button.

Step 7: Final Review and LMS Integration

1. Once processing completes, click the “See Content” button to view your automated creations.
2. Click on the title of any generated item and click the “Edit” button to refine questions, correct typos, or adjust settings.
3. Click “Save” when done. You can now seamlessly embed these activities directly into your Brightspace/D2L course shells using the “Creator + Authoring Tools” menu. See this guide on adding graded and ungraded H5P activities in D2L Brightspace.
