Important Tips:
1) If you have made this a graded activity, you must complete that activity before it appears as a column in the grade centre. This is because the LTI must receive a score in order to initiate creating that column.
2) Since every graded activity creates a column, creating a lot of individual activities will create a lot of grade centre columns!
3) Need to delete the column of your h5p activity in the Grade Centre? There are a couple steps that you must take. Visit the FAQs to learn more.
