How to view a presentation
What’s in an online presentation
WildfireLessons.net takes a presentation created in Microsoft Powerpoint (a .PPT file) and converts it to web pages that can be viewed from within the WildfreLessons site.
In addition to posting a PPT file, authors can choose to add other learning support features:
| - |
A quiz, so readers can test their understanding of the ideas in the presentation (multiple choice questions only) |
| - |
An evaluation page, so readers can provide the author with feedback about the presentation |
How to beginYou must be logged in to view the HTML version of a presentation, take the quiz, or submit feedback. (You can view the description of any presentation, or download the file, without logging in.)
