Hi,

Hi Rahul,

There is not a way through the UI to embed the PDF right on the course page - resources like that are linked to prevent the course page from getting too long. 

Thanks!

Rahul,

You can't do this natively with powerpoint BUT there is a work around.

Upload the ppt to GoogleDrive and convert it to a slides file.

Then go to publish and there's an embed link

If you put this embed link in a WYSIWYG editor (label, page, etc) it will embed your presentation for you.
