Hello,

I see that when you publish content in h5p.com it states that it is publicly available. Does this mean publicly searchable on the internet? If so, how can I search for content created by others using h5p.com as opposed to h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de?

Hi Karin,

You might have seen the message that the content is publicly available in h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de since all contents created on this site is public. On the other hand you have control over the publishing settings in H5P.com. You have 3 choices: 
  1. Unpublished - only the author and administrators have access to the content.
  2. Published - Authors and administrators have access to the content and it can be inserted into an LMS. In your case Blackboard Ultra.
  3. Public - Can be accessed by anyone in the internet and can be inserted into an LMS.
In terms of searching the only sure way of finding a content is if you know the title of the content and adding H5P.com your search. Please note that if you publish a content publicly it is not available to be search immediately. It takes some time before search engines' web crawlers goes through websites. -BV
