Workflow for Creating Presentations

The following procedure describes the typical workflow for creating a presentation in Dialogue Design.

To create a presentation

1. Create a new presentation, either Desktop only or Mobile and Desktop.
2. Set up the topic or lesson structure, and name each as appropriate.
3. Import an existing PowerPoint presentation you have already finalized.
4. Separate the PowerPoint presentation into multiple topics or lessons as required. To do so, click and drag slides into the correct lesson/topic.

   Note: Move slides from the bottom first into the appropriate topic.

5. After the slides are located in the appropriate topic/lesson, do the following:
   1. Edit the topic properties to include objectives at the topic level.
   2. Rename each slide as appropriate.
   3. Perform an advanced edit on the slides, if necessary.
6. Add video files, if desired, and set the auto-advance option.

   Refer to Working with Dialogue Recorder for additional information.

7. Add audio to existing slides or create new audio slides.

   Refer to Best Practices for Importing Audio/Video Files for guidelines.

8. Create a test (optional).
9. Edit session properties (required for publishing).
10. Edit session references, if necessary.
11. Save the presentation.
12. Publish the presentation locally or to a Skillport site.
