Did you know that you can reuse your existing PowerPoint presentations in SmarterU?
Follow these three steps to make your existing PowerPoint presentations available in SmarterU.
Extract Images and Audio
First, you'll need to extract the images and audio from PowerPoint. When prompted, be sure to export every slide in your presentation.
Add SmarterU Course and Chapter
Next you'll want to add a SmarterU course and at least one chapter to house your PowerPoint presentation.
Add Tasks For Each Slide
Finally, you'll add tasks to your SmarterU course. Be sure to add a task for each slide in your presentation.
If your presentation has audio, you'll also want to upload the audio to SmarterU.
That's it! Using these steps, you can make your PowerPoint 2007 or PowerPoint 2010 presentations available in SmarterU.

Be sure that your footer's dimensions are 924x139 and that it is of one of the following file types:
