Embed PowerPoint via Slideshare

The VLE @ GSA

How to…

Slideshare (www.slideshare.com) is a web-based tool that allows for sharing and embedding Powerpoint presentations. This means that rather than clicking a link to a file, students can click through a presentation in the VLE itself.

You can create your own Slideshare account or upload to the GSA VLE account (username and password both vlegsa)

Please note that all content uploaded to Slideshare is available to the public. This means that anyone using Slideshare will be able to view what you upload, and you can search for other resources to use.

When logged in, click the orange upload button and browse your computer for the file you wish to upload.

You can view everything you have uploaded by clicking on My Uploads.

You can edit titles, tags and other information by clicking on Edit.

Back in the VLE, navigate to a content area and click on the Build Content menu. Choose Mashups > SlideShare presentation.

You can search by text, tags or enter the web address of the presentation you wish to add.

Preview and Select the presentation you would like to use.

You can edit the name and add additional information on the presentation.

You can also choose whether to link to the file or to embed playback in the VLE course.

Students can now click through the presentation from within the VLE.
