The PowerPoint Generator offers:

  • Automatic slide creation based on your inputs (e.g., subject, key points).
  • Customisable styles, themes, and layouts.
  • Options for refining and downloading presentations in PowerPoint or PDF format.

Step-by-Step Guide​

1. Configuring Your Presentation​

Input Details​

  • Subject: Add a broad topic or focus area (e.g., "Carpentry and Joinery").
  • Key Points to Focus On: Specify any critical areas for the presentation to address (e.g., "On-Site Health & Safety").
  • Audience Level: Define the audience's education or skill level (e.g., "HNC").

Customise Style and Layout​

  • Number of Slides: Choose between 5 or 10 slides based on the level of detail required.

3. Refining the Slides​

After the slides are generated, you can:

  • Regenerate Slides: Replace specific slides if the content does not meet your expectations.

Best Practice: Review each slide to ensure alignment with your lesson objectives.
