Using PowerPoint in Online Courses
This page presents an overview of using PowerPoint in online courses.
III. Web Pages (HTML)
A PowerPoint presentation can easily be converted into a series of web pages (i.e., a web version). The main advantage of created a web version of a PowerPoint presentation is that students using any web browser - Internet Explorer or Netscape - can view it without any difficulties. The web version will also download very quickly. Students accessing the Internet via dial-up connections will not have to wait for the web pages that comprise your presentation to download. By using a web version instead of the native PowerPoint presentation (the .ppt file), you are also not giving away your entire presentation. A disadvantage of this approach is that it does take a few extra steps to create the web version. Also, your students will not be able to print out the web version, although you can mitigate this problem by creating a handout version of your presentation (to be discussed in the next section).
PowerPoint comes with an easy-to-use wizard for generating web versions of presentations. The CIT has created step-by-step instructions, complete with examples and demos, on how to create a web version of a PowerPoint presentation, and then how to move the web version into your WebCT course.
