How Pressbooks Results Works

Pressbooks Results is a standard feature available to all Enterprise Network clients. On Shared Networks, clients on unlimited plans and Premium Buy-in members may activate. Pressbooks Results requires an active LTI integration between your Pressbooks Enterprise Network and your Learning Management System (LMS). 

Build Interactive Activities with H5P

H5P is a simple tool for adding multiple choice questions, quizzes, interactive videos, and other formative assessments.

From inside the Pressbooks authoring platform, it is easy for anyone to create, edit, and insert quizzes and other interactive H5P into their content. Authors can also clone and adapt H5P activities from other books.

Configure Grading and Add to Course

To configure a chapter for use with Pressbooks Results, instructors choose which gradable H5P activities should send scores to the LMS gradebook, and an overall grading scheme (e.g. first attempt, best attempt, etc.).

After a chapter has been configured it for grading, it can be loaded as a graded assignment into any LMS course at your institution.

View Student Performance

Once a graded assignment has been added to your course, students simply launch the link and complete the activity.

Student performance on Pressbooks Results assignments are automatically synced with the LMS gradebook and Pressbooks Results Viewer, allowing instructors and students to better understand what they’re learning.
