• Funded by Ministry of Education, Estonia
• Coordinated by Tallinn University, more than 120 authors
3. Concept
• Learning resource as a smaller piece (“Lego-brick”)

5. Additional content types &
extensions (H5P)
• Based on the needs of our content authors in four subject areas (social sciences, natural
sciences, mathematics and arts), new H5P content types and other original technical
solutions were added:
• Kekule.js
• VisualMathEditor
• GeoGebra
• Assessment rubric
• Music exercises
• Grid Checker
• Fill the blanks (dropdown)
• Challenge
6. Kekule.js
• Kekule.js is an open source
JavaScript library for
chemoinformatics released
under MIT license. Currently, it
is molecule-centric, focusing
on providing the ability to
represent, draw, edit, compare
and search molecule
structures on web browsers.

10. GeoGebra
• GeoGebra is dynamic
mathematics software for all
levels of education that brings
together geometry, algebra,
spreadsheets, graphing,
statistics and calculus in one
easy-to-use package.

12. Assessment Rubric
• A rubric is a criterion referenced
assessment tool used to score
assignments or performances.
Work is scored/graded based on
how well the finished product lines
up with the criteria listed on the
rubric. A rubric is a very powerful
device for performance-based
assessments, such as oral
presentations or projects, but also
makes grading essay questions
and narratives quick and easy.
