WAYS TO CREATE COURSE SLIDES
From Quadam Teacher, from a blank slide
From a computer PowerPoint file Edit the slides in PowerPoint or a similar program. A standard screen (4:3) is recommended, rather than apanoramic screen (16:9). It includes no effects, animations, or videos, but only texts, illustrations, or photos. Savethe file as a series of images and add them in your Dropbox account. You can access them from Quadam Teacherand place them as background images in different slides.
Another option for more advanced users is to save the PowerPoint file in PDF format and, via Dropbox, select it to Open in ... Quadam (previously selecting the course in which it is to be located).

you will be able to listen comfortably to the audio through the headphones.
