Integrating Google Docs to Moodle: Powerpoint

I have been aware of GoogleDocs for awhile now but only lately has the call for info on embedding and linking Google Docs into Moodle been reaching my ears. So to answer that somewhat defening call I needed to try it myself....

So here begins my learning Journey - Embedding Powerpoint:
Embedding your Powerpoint presentations into Moodle is an attractive and easy way for students to view your presentations online. The other benefit is that if the Powerpoint is changed in GoogleDocs, the changes flow through to the moodle. No more mucking around with moodle files and uploads and renaming etc.

Go to Google Docs by logging into Google with your Google login and go to Google Docs



Click on on the Upload button







Find the presentation you want to upload using the Browse button and then the Upload File button








This will start the upload process, which may take awhile depending on file size and connection etc. Once the file is uploaded view the presentation by clicking on it (if it does not open automatically)


















Click the Share button and then choose Publish/embedd










This opens up a publishing notification screen. Click on the Publish Document button.








At this point you could take either the presentation URL or the embedd code. You can also choose the size you wnat your presentation to be displayed at (it may be hard to read if it is too small, and too large may blow your page/stylesheet out of proportion).
Highlight the embedd code and copy it.



















In your moodle click on Add a Resource and choose Compose a web page










Like what you have to do with most Moodle tools, give your page a title and short descriptive title.








Click Toggle HTML button and paste in the embedd code









Scroll down and click Save and Return to Course


Click on the web page you have just created






And view your presentation!
