TABLE OF CONTENTS

Embed any PDF or Microsoft Office file directly into the course by choosing '+ PDF/ MS Office'.

Adding PDF or MS Office Files

Select the '+ PDF/MS Office' content block.
Choose between adding a PDF or MS Office file.

Choosing '+ PDF'

Select 'Resource: Read Only' or 'Activity: Edit/Annotate'.
- Selecting Activity will allow the instructor or learners to annotate with text, highlighting, shapes, etc.
- Tip: Use a text block before the PDF activity to add directions for learners.
Select or drag and drop the PDF directly into the content block and select 'Save'.

Choosing '+ MS Office'

To add a Microsoft Office doc, excel, or ppt file start with the same '+ PDF/ MS Office' option, select 'MS Office' and then select or drag and drop the file in the content block.

The file will embed directly. This is especially useful for distributing MS files because the learner will be able to download them from the course.
