– Adding only pulldown menu, it becomes cool• Home / Site administration / Appearance / Themes / Theme settings► ► ► ►• Add title and URL In [Custom menu items] text box .• Layered structure is possible .

Want to use Power Point contents
• Many converting tools for PPT to flash, PPT to HTML5, but not enough .
• Moodle offers the module ‘Book’ similar to PPT– ‘Book’ offers continuity pages (html) – ‘Book’ can read from some htmls together .– Pages in a ‘Book’ is editable as html, so that you can insert several kind
of contents such as Youtube videos .
• Weak point of ‘Book’– Anyone can copy ‘Book’ as characters .– A bit slow behavior – ‘Book’ from Powerpoint is not working without IE .

Inhibit from coping, show clear
• How about OSS image viewer ?– Galleria Display http://galleria.io/– Image gallery with JS .– Free for basic version. Charged theme $9-$29– Changing PPT’s default size 960*720

Unzip and set main file.– With htmls ,Making moodle ‘file’ or upload in another place. Embed as
