Spice up your lessons at ELF with H5P hotspot activities!

H5P hotspot activities in ELF allow you to turn an ordinary image into an interactive teaching tool. Students click on marked areas in the image, discover information, or complete tasks, thereby actively participating in the lesson.

What types of hotspots can you use?

• Find the Hotspot
  Students search for one correct location in the image according to the instructions. This activity is suitable for quickly checking comprehension.

• Find Multiple Hotspots
  The task is to find multiple correct locations. This activity is suitable for testing more detailed knowledge and allows for point scoring.

• Image Hotspots
  Hotspots are used to display additional content (text, image, video). Ideal for explaining diagrams, maps, or more complex topics.

Why use hotspots?

• They support active and visual learning.
• They increase student engagement.
• They are easy to create and work directly in ELF for free without any additional installations.

H5P hotspots are a simple but very effective tool for modernizing teaching and offering students attractive and clear study materials. For more information and instructions on how to set up activities, see our documentation.
