H5P Plugins
You can create interactive content by adding the H5P plugin to your WordPress, Moodle or Drupal site, or integrate it via LTI with Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard and many other Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) that support LTI integration. <LTI stands for “learning tool interoperability.”
See e.g. Catapult partner TELLConsult’s website for an implementation on a WordPress site trialling the Drag & Drop content type using text from a locally developed, small corpus on LSP teaching & learning: a paragraph of Nergiz Kern’s contribution ‘Benefits of technology use in ESP’ to Innovations in learning technologies for English language teaching (Motteram, 2013)
