Do you have deck slides already created and would like to include them within a course you are authoring? Create your own in-platform slide deck, including text audio and images, using the native Thought Industries page type, Slideshow!

Use Case Information

Slideshow pages allow you to add an image plus a title and description for each individual slide. This is best for showing step-by-step instructions or breaking down information into bite-size pieces using images.

  6. Add a page title.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Click on Add Slide. Drag an image or click in the box to upload your image. Click Save Image. Once the image has been uploaded you can resize it. The recommended image size for each slide is 1400x1052 pixels, which is a 16:9 ratio, but you can use a different size if needed.
  9. Give your slide a title and caption. You can also add Alt text or add an audio file. In addition, you can add a text box above or below the slide as a way to provide further information to the learner. Hover over the area above or below the slide and click Add Text Box. Click Save Slide.
  10. Continue adding slides by following steps 7 and 8.
  11.  Toggle the "Show Sidebar?" setting to "Yes" if you'd like to display a sidebar (e.g., title, caption, description) to the right of each slide.
  12. You can also find the following options under Advanced Settings:
    • Unlocking for editing by children? - This offers Panorama roles, who have the permission, to edit this page in your course.
    • Indentation Level -

      The Indentation Level is behind a feature flag.

      This allows for the syllabus in the course menu to be indented. When enabled, you can nest pages under each other.

    • # of seconds required for completion - Number of seconds required to mark this page as complete. If set, the learner must remain on the page (without refreshing or going to another page) for the number of seconds specified in order to be marked complete.
    • Audio Narration File - Although it is not system functionality to record audio in the platform, you can upload audio files.
  13.  Click Save.

Tip

Although audio is supported within a slideshow, we recommend using the presentation page type for better usability. The presentation page type also supports the upload of a PowerPoint or Keynote file.
