Adding PowerPoint as a PDF File
- Luc Richard
You can convert your PowerPoint to a PDF file before uploading it to the learning environment. Using this approach, the steps to upload the PowerPoint to the learning environment are identical, but you would first save the PowerPoint file to PDF.
Step-by-step Guide
Using Microsoft PowerPoint, open the file
Click on File > Save As
Select the “PDF (*.pdf)” option for the file type
Click on the “Save” button
In the learning environment, go to the course in question
Turn editing on
Drag and drop your file in the main content of the course
Your PowerPoint file (in PDF format) is now part of your course and your learners can access it simply by clicking on it.
Pros:
Easy
Can be open by most browsers (without the need to have a Microsoft PowerPoint viewer installed on the user’s computer or mobile device)
Cons:
You can’t really track that the users have read the PDF file. You can only track that they’ve clicked on it.
