People often like to browse WebLearn from within a PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n

Generally this is done by adding a hyperlink or maybe by just breaking out of the presentation and switching to a web browser, however, it is actually really easy to embed a web browser (and hence WebLearn) within a slide.<\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe for PowerPoint 2010.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Enable Developer Ribbon (in File > Options > Customize Ribbon)<\/p>\n

\"enable-dev-toolbar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Add Microsoft Web Browser to a slide (Developer > More Controls > Microsoft Web Browser)<\/p>\n

\"more-controls\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Add a macro (Developer > Visual Basic), then click on the given slide<\/p>\n

\"vb1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Paste the following into the edit window (assuming it is Slide1 that being developed)<\/p>\n

Sub go2URL ()\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 Dim varURL as Variant\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 varURL = \"https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\"\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 Slide1.WebBrowser1.Navigate varURL\r\nEnd Sub<\/pre>\n
\"vb\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Add an Action Button (Insert > Shapes > Action Button) &<\/p>\n
\"ab\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> Opt to run the go2URL macro upon mouse click<\/p>\n
\"as\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Step 7:\u00a0<\/strong> Save as .PPTM file (macro-enabled PowerPoint file)<\/p>\n
\"pptm\"<\/a><\/p>\n
During the slide show, the presenter must click on the Action Button to bring WebLearn onto the slide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
