Option 2. Import a PowerPoint as a SCORM Course (With Animations, transitions, videos and sounds)

Use a conversion tool to convert a PowerPoint to SCORM course, such as PPT2Flash Professional to convert PowerPoint to SCORM course.

Option 3. Convert PowerPoint to Slide-cast

This third option requires that you install the slide-cast plug-in on your Moodle server. This plug-in is available here: http://www.slide-casts.com/moodle/

Once installed, you can convert your PowerPoint to a slide-cast and add audio to the slides.
