When the PowerPoints are loaded into the system they are converted into SWF's. While it is converting, you are still able to edit and make changes to other pages in your course so you will not need to wait for the conversion to end to continue working on other parts of your course. .

An individual page will be created for each PowerPoint slide if you choose to do the entire PowerPoint project at once. . Tools MORE >>
