Presentation Tutorial
 
The presentation tool allows for students to upload and post presentations to share with other students in the online course. Once the files are posted, all student files can be viewed within the presentation area. A student or instructor can browse each student presentation by selecting the presentation title. This tutorial will guide the student through the process of uploading their course presentation files into the online course and making it accessible for the class to view.
