Add Course Content

Review this Bridge help guide for information on uploading a SCORM or PowerPoint package.  Please note that PowerPoint upload utility only takes pictures of slides which can lead to several issues. If a change is made to a slide, the author will need to re-upload all slides. Also, since the slides are converted to images that are not accessibility-friendly. The upload of PowerPoint files in this manner is a very temporary solution and should be converted to a built-in Bridge course for the long term.
