To create a lesson structure* using AI, you need to provide it with information. You can do this in two different ways: by providing information via text or information via images. We'll explain both options.
*We talk about a lesson structure because the slides that AI creates for you do not yet constitute a complete lesson. You need to check these slides and add suitable layout and images.
Create a lesson based on text
When you choose the text option, you then have the choice of providing AI with an assignment. Such an assignment is called a prompt. In this article, you'll learn how to write a good prompt. When you write a prompt, AI uses that information to create slides and it adds relevant information itself.
The other option is to provide AI with a lot of information, such as by copying an extensive (public) article. When you choose this option, AI uses only the information you provide to create slides. AI does not add any relevant information to it.
Create a lesson based on images
When you choose the image option, you are prompted to upload images. AI scans these images and creates slides based on the text in the images. So it is important that the images you upload contain text.
Optional settings
When AI generates a lesson structure for you, you have the option to have additional slides added to your lesson structure. These options are automatically checked:
Lesson phases: This divides your lesson into phases, bringing structure to your lesson.
Activate previous knowledge: A mindmap is added to your lesson.
Exit ticket: An exit ticket is added to your lesson for reflection.
From lesson structure to lesson
Once you have provided AI with information, it first creates a lesson outline. You can then choose which slides you want and don't want in your lesson. Of course, you can always add or remove slides at a later time. Always check for accuracy of the information. After AI has created the slides, it's up to you to turn them into a complete lesson.
Good luck and have fun using the AI assistant.
