Creating the ALT Version in iSpring

Some customers of ours prefer our courses to have a final exam attached to them. Converting a regular training into an ALT training is simple.

Create the ALT PowerPoint file.

1. Open the regular online version from either the OSHA or Canada folders:
   • K:\1__Online\1 - Online Training\1-eLearning Courses
2. Immediately do a File > Save As and save the presentation in the ALT OSHA or ALT Canada folder “ALT OSHA/CAN Training Name”

Create a new project folder inside the new destination folder.

1. Go to the iSpring Suite tab in PowerPoint. Click on Manage Narration. A window will pop up that says Updating Presentation.
2. Hit Save & Close.
   • It's very important that you complete this step before doing anything else. Otherwise, the link to the iSpring folder will break, and the audio will be deleted. 

Add the final exam.

1. Scroll to the very end of the presentation. Click the Home tab in PowerPoint. Go to New Slide.
2. Click iSpring Suite tab > Quiz. When the iSpring QuizMaker opens, click Browse.
3. Locate the appropriate iSpring quiz file inside
   • K:\1__Online\1 - Online Training\1-eLearning Courses\5 - iSpring Quizzes. Click Open.
   • This will be the interactive quiz.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the quiz questions and click Quiz Results.
5. Under When Quiz is Finished, choose Show Slide with Results from the dropdown.
6. At the top, Click Properties.
   • Question Properties:
   • Number of Attempts: 1
   • Uncheck Show feedback for graded questions.
   • Click Apply to All. Then Apply. Then Save.***
     • This step is very important! Don't skip it
7. Click Save and Return to Course.

Switch out the Begin the Exam button.

1. On the slide before the final exam, delete the begin the exam button.
2. Open up ENG Alt Extra Slides from K:\1__Online\1 - Online Training\1-eLearning Courses\z - Templates, Assets. Highlight the Begin the Exam box on slide 1 and copy it.
3. Paste it on the slide before the final exam in your presentation.

Add in the Exit the Course button.

1. Copy the second slide from ENG Alt Extra Slides (it should say "Exit the Course") and paste it into the presentation after the final exam.

Update the Presentation Outline.

1. In the iSpring Suite tab, click Slide Properties.
2. Scroll to the bottom. For the two slides you added at the end, unselect On-Click.
