How to Embed a PowerPoint in Moodle
Moodle, an open source e-learning software platform, stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. Moodle is designed to help educators create e-learning courses that focus on interaction from the students. The e-learning designer can import simple Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into Moodle to create an e-learning course. Moodle only supports up to Microsoft PowerPoint version 2003. Any PowerPoint presentation created on a version newer then 2003 will need to be saved to a lower version. To import PowerPoint into Moodle, you need to create a Web page and create a ZIP file.
