Embedding a PowerPoint Presentation in Blackboard
Embedding a PowerPoint presentation into your Blackboard course provides the students with a more visually appealing course design. It is also the easiest way to share updates to the presentation with your students since any changes made will automatically be updated in the presentation in your Blackboard course. This makes it the most efficient way to share PowerPoint presentations with your students. If you are not familiar with Office 365 yet, we highly recommend that you take the introductory course called ‘Collaborating Online with Office 365’.
STEPS:
1. Ensure your PowerPoint file is saved on One Drive, not your computer. If you are not sure
how to do this, you can follow the instructions on this page.
2. Open the PowerPoint file online, not from your computer.
3. Click on File.
4. Click on Share and choose Embed.

5. Choose the size you wish to display and copy the embed code.

7. Name the item appropriately and click on HTML.

8. Paste the embed code and click on Update.
9. It is a good idea to add a note for your students telling them that they need to be logged
into Office 365 with their HCT email address and password to view the presentation. Then click Submit. Note: you will need to be logged into www.office.com with your HCT email address and password to view the presentation.
