Upload Interactive PowerPoint Slides to a Custom Course

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Not everyone may be able to use this method due to certain browser and security restrictions.

However, if you would like to upload your PowerPoint slides as an interactive custom training within Workhub, the following steps can guide you through the process

Gather Embed Details

1. Open your PowerPoint document using the Microsoft 365 web platform (Home | Microsoft 365) instead of the app to access the embed option.

2. Sign in with your Microsoft credentials and upload the PowerPoint document you wish to add to your course.

3. Go to the File menu and select the Share option.

4. Look out for the Embed option, which will pop up a fresh page with a preview of your slides. You can tweak the dimensions and, of course, copy the embed code you need.

5. Copy the embed code and navigate to your Custom Course page in Workhub.


Create a new Custom Course

Guide to create a Custom Course is located - HERE

The Custom Course creation screen is pretty simple! At the top of the screen, give your new course a Title. On the right side of the page, give your course a Course Contact , Course Icon, and a Course Description.  Now give your Course a title and click Add Lesson and choose the Embed Code Tab

Embed Course

Now you can paste the previously copied Embed Code.  

All mandatory fields need to be filled in so don't forget to give your Lesson a Name, specify the Training Time, and make sure to hit that Save button. You don't want to lose your hard work!

Please Note: It is essential to include at least one quiz question in the lesson.

Remember, it is important to set the permissions for the shared file accordingly, allowing anyone who clicks on the link to access it without any hassle. Happy uploading!


Create the Quiz

This lesson type doesn’t have a timer. Quiz unlocks immediately after viewing

Add a Quiz Question

Click the Add Question Button or Edit the existing quiz question by clicking into it

Include a quiz question in the Quiz Question field and add the possible answers for the question.

Make sure you indicate which one is correct using the Correct Answer selector beneath the answer line and Click the Save button when you are finished.

Click Add Question as many times as you need to create all your quiz questions and Click the Save button for your lesson once again

Tailoring your Course Settings

You can change the settings for an individual Online Training course (as opposed to tailoring the settings for your Online Training component as a whole) by clicking into a particular Course in your Online Training list and navigating to the Settings tab.

If you want uniform default settings for ALL of your Online Training Courses, those settings can be created through the main Online Training components setting tab instead of each course individually

All courses will use the global settings as set in the Online Training settings unless changed within an individual course setting. Any changes made in the individual course settings will overrule the global defaults.

You can make whatever changes you deem appropriate to your course in this page, including how long a course is valid for, whether a Worker needs to review a lesson if they fail a quiz, what constitutes a passing mark, and many more!

To change the setting from its global default, you can uncheck the Use Default checkbox on the right side of each setting and make your desired change.


When you've made any changes you'd like to see, be sure to hit Save Course Settings in the top right corner to save those changes.
