Adding PowerPoint Presentations, Videos, and Interactive Visual Aids

The Presentation Wizard lets you add PowerPoint presentations, videos, and interactive visual aids seamlessly. The presentation wizard or Onboarder converts the contents into a collection of slides, organizes them into a presentation and builds parking lots for each slide.

Adding presentations can be done in three (3) easy steps:

• Specifying the presentation Information
• Adding Slides and;
• Reviewing the Confirmation page before publishing

In this example, we used a PowerPoint (.ppt) file to demonstrate the process. But in general, you can use this method when adding videos and interactive visual aids as well.
