Sharing a Group of Interactions with One or More Faculty Members at FSW

---

A user can easily share a group of interactions with one or more faculty members by grouping the interactions in one folder and then sharing that folder with users.

Creating Folders in H5P

Folders can help you organize your interactions by course, discipline, project, or anything in between.

You can add a new folder to your Content list by clicking the "New Folder" button (next to the "Add Content" button) at the top of the H5P landing page once you log in.

Once you have the folder structure you would like to use, you can move the different interactions you have made into the folder of your choice.

Moving Interactions into Folders

There are a couple of different ways to move an interaction into a folder.

For interactions you are currently editing:

1. Scroll all the way down the page, past the interaction content to the Settings.
2. On the left-hand side menu, choose the "Folder" option.
3. Choose the folder from your list of folders that you would like to place your interaction in.
   • If you have nested folders, you should be able to view those nested folders by clicking on the plus sign next to the folder icon.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page to save your collaborators for this interaction.

To move existing interactions into a folder, follow these steps:

1. Find the interaction you would like to move into a folder.
2. Locate and click on the three horizontal dots on the right side of the screen next to the title of your chosen interaction.
3. In the small pop-up menu that appears, click the "Move" option.
4. In the larger pop-up window, choose the folder or nested folder in which you would like the interaction to be located.
5. Click the blue "Move" button to confirm the new folder location of your interaction.

Sharing a Folder of Interactions with One or More Faculty Members

If you have a group of interactions that you would like to share with the same group of faculty, you can add all of the interactions to one H5P folder and share that folder with your chosen group of FSW faculty. Please note that when you add a group of faculty to a folder, you are granting permission to not just view but also edit the interactions you have within that folder.

To share a folder with one or more FSW faculty members, follow these steps:

1. Find the folder with all of the interactions you would like to share with a specific group of FSW faculty.
2. Locate and click on the three horizontal dots on the right side of the screen next to the title of your chosen folder.
3. In the small pop-up menu that appears, click the "Share with organization" option.
4. In the larger pop-up window, choose the "Collaborators" tab.
5. Type in the names or email addresses of the faculty members you would like to have access to the interactions within the folder and select them as the names pop up.
   • Note that you will only be able to add the names of faculty members who have created their FSW H5P accounts.
6. Click the blue "Update" button at the bottom of the window once you have finished adding faculty.
