Courseware Customization

You have two choices for playing your PowerPoint presentations within a Mastery course Shell. You can export the individual frames to JPEG files or you can run the PowerPoint show within a Mastery course as a "guest" application.

Convert PowerPoint Presentations to Mastery Platform Courses

The procedure is simple. Just save your PowerPoint slides as JPEG files into the course directory. Then call them from your course script with MODIFY™.

Add an audio file to narrate your slides to get the full benefit of multimedia.

Match the display size of the PowerPoint JPEG files with Mastery's off-the-shelf courses by putting your PowerPoint Page Setup to "Custom", "Width = 6.6 inches", "Height = 5.0 inches" before you do the "Save As". These settings will result in a picture size of roughly 640 x 480.

For more details on this procedure see our Technical FAQs page.

Run your PowerPoint Presentation
as a guest within a course
You can use the new "Run Application" command in MODIFY™ to run the PowerPoint show within a Mastery course as a "guest" application.
