Displays multimedia HTML5 presentations and slide shows in users' web browsers. A web friendly and more feature rich alternative to MS PowerPoint and PDF. However, presentations must be uploaded to moodledata via FTP and you'll need to learn some basic HTML to create presentations for it.

Deploy reveal.js presentations in Moodle!

Alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint presentations

See: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js for documentation and details about how to create slides and various effects/transitions.

reveal.js official demo: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

WARNING: Not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort to learn how to use. You will need to have some knowledge of HTML scripting and how to upload files to Moodle's File System repository via FTP.

Create, upload, and display fully functioning multimedia HTML5/CSS/JS presentations. It supports:

Text
Images
Audio (HTML5 audio tags)
Video(HTML5 video tags)
SVG images and animations (depending on browser compatibility)
Embedded web pages and resources (iframes)

It doesn't support Flash or Java applets. This is a pure HTML5/CSS/JS presentation module.

Supports web audio and video formats and can provide multiple version files (in source tags), e.g. myvideo.mp4 and myvideo.ogg for cross browser compatibility.

Has some really slick transitions and styles built in. Makes your presentations look amazing

Create, display, transfer, and share sophisticated multimedia presentations that display beautifully in HTML5 compliant browsers.

This is a beta version. Not for production servers!

Hi again Sandra,
You can make the file permissions more open with: $ sudo chmod 0777 -R /var/www/moodledata/repository/revealjs (Assuming that you're using a standard LAMP server configuration).

Hi Matt,
Does it work with Moodle 3.4?
Thanks.

Hi Patrick, I haven't yet tested it with Moodle 3.4. At the moment, I'm very busy so I'll need to find the time to perform any necessary updates to the code and publish an official Moodle 3.4 version. However, I suspect that it will just work as it is. I recommend trying it out on a testing server first though.

I hope this helps,

Matt

Is this plugin working with Moodle 3.4 yet? I would love to be able to use it. Someone just told me they can't get it to work. I'm not advanced, but I'm willing to work through it to get the presentation to work well. Any comment is welcome.

Hi -

I am attempting to add a presentation to my Moodle course. I add activity Presentation. in the Presentation settings the first drop down asks me to "Choose a file" to upload, however, there is no place in which I can do that. Any idea what's wrong?

Hi Drew, please note that this plugin is not intended for non-technical users and requires some knowledge of managing files on remote FTP hosts and writing HTML. Documentation regarding this can be found here: https://github.com/matbury/mod_revealjs/wiki/Uploading-presentations

Hi Fernanda,
Yes, hopefully the organisation that commissioned this plugin will be updating their version of Moodle & therefore this plugin will need updating too. Should happen soon.

Hi, I would like to know if I can use this plugin in version 3.8 or 3.9? I saw that there are some 3.8 and 3.9 moodle sites with it installed on the plugin stats... But I want to know if there are any bugs that occurs when using this plugin with 3.8 or 3.9 Moodle version.

Hi, does anyone know how to fix the following error:
ERROR: The attempt to fetch markdown.md failed with HTTP status 404.Check your browser's JavaScript console for more details.
Remember that you need to serve the presentation HTML from a HTTP server.

Thank you so much!

Hi, I saw this plugin, but it doesn't have it for version 3.9 of moodle, and I need to know when you update this plugin to this version.
