narration to PowerPoint for assessment

NOTE: There are four parts to these instructions, please go read all of the way steps up to Part 4.

This document outlines the steps you need to take to record a PowerPoint slide show with audio narration, save as video and upload to an assignment in Moodle. Please note: your recording in PowerPoint should be kept short (as instructed by your teacher) to keep the file size as small as possible. This ensures that the file exports relatively quickly and will upload more easily (parts 3 and 4 below). 

These instructions are for PowerPoint for Office 365, but you can use an earlier version of PowerPoint. The interface may look a little different, but you should still be able to record. If you need to download a recent version of PowerPoint go to https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/itservices/software/office.aspx

PART 3: Save as a video file (required in order to upload the presentation to Moodle)

On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).

...

The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells you whether your presentation includes narration and timings.

If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.

If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.

You can upload the video to Moodle assignment as described in this Moodle help page: https://workspace.nottingham.ac.uk/display/StudentMoodle/How+to+submit+a+media+file+ via+a+Moodle+Assignment
