Audience:
Anyone at the LSE
Prerequisites
LSE account with full access to the MS Office365 suite.
What is Microsoft PowerPoint?
PowerPoint is a slide-based presentation tool available through Office 365. It remains a core teaching tool at LSE, with features for embedded video, narration, accessibility checks, and export to PDF or video.
Does it integrate with Moodle?
Yes. PowerPoints can be uploaded to Moodle as files or exported as PDFs. Narrated presentations can be converted to video and embedded.
Why use it?
Deliver structured lectures or asynchronous content
Record narrated slides for flipped learning
Design slides with accessibility checker and alt text
Encourage students to create presentations for coursework
Hypothetical Example
In a hypothetical Economics course, lecturers record narrated PowerPoint presentations covering key weekly concepts, sharing them via Moodle. This supports students who miss in-person classes and helps with revision.
How might students use it independently?
Students can create individual or group presentations, rehearse with the recording feature, or submit asynchronous presentations as video.
