Guess the Answer 

This content type allows you to create questions where the end-user should guess the answer based on the image. Then, by pressing the bar below the image, the user reveals the correct answer. 

Let's say you want to show an image of a Cherry and you want the end-user to guess which fruit it is.
After he/she thinks of a guess, they will click on a button and reveal the correct answer.


Accessing H5P in Canvas

You can access H5P in Canvas through the Rich Content Editor (RCE), which is accessible via the edit view of Page, Assignment, Discussion Board, Announcement and Quiz questions. 

For this example, we will be adding H5P onto a Canvas page. The first thing you will need to do is either open the page you want to embed the H5P content into or create a new page. Then click the ‘Edit’ button which will open the RCE. (You will automatically go into edit mode if you create a new page.) 

Next, you will need to locate H5P in the RCE toolbar by clicking on the more external tools icon.
