Mark the Words
The Mark the Words content type presents a text where the student clicks on the words that meet the instruction. The AI generates the text, the set of correct markable words, and performance-based feedback from the teacher's prompt.
AI-generated configuration
| Setting | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text length | Length of the generated text. | 40 to 120 words | Within the 40–120 range |
| Number of markable words | How many correct words the student must mark. | 1 or more (no documented cap; requested exact amounts are generated exactly) | At least 1, as fits the instruction |
| Range feedback | Final message that changes with the student's score. | Three fixed ranges: 0-49, 50-89, and 90-100 percent, each with its own message | Always generated |
| Buttons | Actions available to the student after answering. | Retry and Show solution | Both enabled |
Generated content
- A text of 40 to 120 words consistent with the instruction (e.g. a descriptive paragraph, a poetic fragment).
- The correct markable words, all of them meeting the instruction (e.g. only qualifying adjectives, only key terms).
- Differentiated feedback for the three score ranges, each message matching the performance level.
Rules and behavior
- This type never needs images and does not generate any.
- Range feedback for 0-49, 50-89, and 90-100 percent is always generated, along with the Retry and Show solution buttons, even when the prompt does not ask for them.
- Markable words have no documented cap: a requested exact amount (e.g. twenty words) is generated exactly, without trimming, and every markable word still meets the instruction.
Example prompts
Without syllabus
A basic activity with a 40–120 word text and markable words that are all qualifying adjectives, with Retry and Show solution buttons:
I need an H5P mark the words activity for the Literature course: a descriptive paragraph where the student clicks on all the qualifying adjectives they find.
An activity with differentiated feedback for the three documented score ranges:
Prepare an H5P mark the words on literary devices for the Literature course: a poetic fragment where the metaphors are marked. I want the final message to change according to performance: an encouraging one if they did poorly, an intermediate one, and a congratulatory one if they did very well.
With syllabus
An activity with exactly twenty markable words, all drawn strictly from unit 3 of the uploaded document:
Make me an H5P mark the words with a long text covering unit 3 of the syllabus I uploaded, where the student must mark twenty words related to that unit.
