powerpoint help

Hello, I am a clinical educator in a critical care unit in a rather large hospital. I am developing my first webquest and I'm extremly excited about this teaching option!

I have a powerpoint presentation with voice over that I would like to add to my webquest. I attempted to load it as a document, but was unable to do so due to the size of the file. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

When you save a powerpoint file with sound overs without any compression, your file will be huge in terms of its size. However, there is an easy way. You can upload your file to http://www.filedropper.com/ (a free system) and provide the url in your webquest as a resource. Hope this helps.

perfect thanks!

You're welcome.

Is there a better way to better way to perform this function?

Standard powerpoints are not very large. Therefore, they can be submitted to zunal (up to 15mb each file). If a sound file or video is integrated to powerpoint, file size gets very large (quickly 2gb-4gb). ZUNAL is offered free and allowing the upload of 2gb powerpoint for users will quickly fillout our server space quickly (there are more than 130 thousand users). We know this is an inconveinence but only way to do this free.
