Slideshow interactions present content as a sequence of visual slides, with optional voice-over audio and automatic transitions.

When audio is included, slides play automatically, allowing learners to focus on listening and watching. Without audio, learners advance through slides at their own pace. Each slide can also include supporting text that appears when the slide is active, helping reinforce key ideas and improve understanding.

To create a Slideshow:

  1. Select the desired Section in the Catalog entry.
  2. Click Add instruction.
  1. Select Slideshow.
  1. Give the instruction a Title.
  2. Provide Mastery award valus.
  3. Provide the Expected duration to inform Effort data.
  4. Import slides as JPEG or PNG files in the order you want them presented (If you are trying to import a PowerPoint presentation, first export all of the slides as JPEG or PNG images).
  5. Provide Alt text and an optional Description text that appears with the slide.
  6. Click Record to add audio, making the Slideshow an auto-play experience for learners.
    • Before recording audio: Ensure your slides are added and in the correct order.
  7. Save.

Record audio for a Slideshow

To add audio to a slideshow:

  1. Click Start recording.

  3. When you're finished click Save recording and the audio is saved to your Slideshow.
