Use one of the following options to add a PowerPoint to a page of content in CourseArc.


Option 1: Converting to a PDF

  1. Convert the PPT to a PDF file and then upload the file and create a link to the presentation. 
  2. The PDF file is most likely not going to meet WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility guidelines, so be sure you include a transcript with your file. 


Option 2: Using SlideShare via LinkedIn

  2. Go to https://www.slideshare.net/ and select the Upload button.
