Embedding Dragster within Articulate presentations

Please Note – an improved embedding method for Articulate presenter is now available.

Integrating Dragster 3 activities into an Articulate presentation is an great way to construct a rich and seamless interactive e-learning resource (see the link to an example presentation at the bottom of this post). View a movie illustrating the authoring and integration process.

Key steps:

1. Author the activity checking the Landscape activity layout and Scale size of activity with browser settings options.
2. Publish the Dragster 3 activity and upload  onto a web server. View the published activity in your browser and copy the activity web address.
3. In your Powerpoint presentation use the Articulate > Insert web object option to add the activity to a slide (use the activity web address and the default settings provided by Articulate presenter when adding the web object).
4. Publish the Articulate presentation.

View a simple example Articulate presentation incorporating a Dragster activity.

Dragster 2 – activities authored with Dragster 2 can also be integrated using the method described above, but as there is no activity setting to scale the activity with the browser, the view of the activity within the articulate presentation can become cropped when displayed on small screens.
