Replace VoiceOver PowerPoint with Video

Voice Over Powerpoint creates extremely large file sizes and repeated uploading of these can potentially slow down responsiveness of your Learning Management System...the same is true of video files. These large PowerPoint files have he additional drawback or being cumbersome for students to view online. They are automatically downloaded when students click on the links.

Here are a couple better alternatives:

Make a Video:
  1. Record your PowerPoint Using Zoom
  2. Upload the Resulting video file (likely called zoom_0.mp4) to your course Youtube Playlist
  3. Embed the Video in Joule or Moodle

Create a simple SCORM file


Here's a step-by-step walkthrough:
  1. Download iSpring Free and follow the installation instructions;
  2. Open the presentation you want to convert to SCORM;
  3. Navigate to the iSpring Free tab;
  4. Click Publish;
  5. Choose the file format (Flash or HTML5), check “Generate SCORM 1.2 Compliant course” and click Publish;
  6. Drag and Drop the Zipped file from your computer to Joule.
  7. Preview your work!
