Modifying Slides
Expanding Content
- “Add 2 more slides with examples for the photosynthesis section”
- “Expand the introduction into 3 slides with more context”
- “Add a slide explaining the key formula in more detail”
Restructuring Slides
- “Reorganize with a title slide, learning objectives, main content, and summary”
- “Restructure the presentation to build up to a key concept step by step”
- “Add practice problems integrated throughout the slides”
Adding Sections
- “Add slides covering chapter 3 as a lecture section”
- “Add more slides for tomorrow’s class based on these notes”
- “Add slides for the key points from my document”
Slide Layouts
Choosing Layouts
- “Use a two-column layout for comparing democracy and autocracy”
- “Put the image on the left with bullet points on the right”
- “Use a full-image background for the title slide”
Common Layouts
| Layout | Best For |
|---|---|
| Title slide | Opening, section dividers |
| Bullets | Lists of points, steps |
| Two-column | Comparisons, before/after |
| Image + text | Explaining visuals |
| Full image | Impact, quotes, key moments |
| Code | Programming examples |
Adding Content
Text Content
- “Add bullet points summarizing the three main causes”
- “Add a quote from Einstein to the introduction slide”
- “Add the learning objectives to slide 2”
Mathematical Content
- “Add the quadratic formula to the formula summary slide”
- “Show the derivation of E=mc^2 step by step across 3 slides”
- “Add the integral notation for calculating area under a curve”
Code Examples
- “Add a Python code example showing how to use a for loop”
- “Show the JavaScript function with syntax highlighting”
- “Add the SQL query that demonstrates a JOIN operation”
Animations and Builds
Bullet Builds
- “Make bullet points appear one at a time”
- “Build up the diagram step by step”
- “Reveal the answer after showing the question”
Transitions
- “Use a fade transition between sections”
- “Add a simple slide transition throughout”
- “Use a different transition for the summary section”
Keep animations subtle for educational content. Too many effects can distract from learning.
Organizing Presentations
Sections
- “Divide the presentation into 4 sections with clear headers”
- “Add section divider slides between major topics”
- “Create an agenda slide linking to each section”
Reordering
- “Move the practice problems after the examples”
- “Put the summary at the beginning as a preview”
- “Swap sections 2 and 3”
Adding and Removing
- “Add 2 more slides with practice problems”
- “Remove the introduction slides and start directly with the content”
- “Add a Q&A slide at the end”
Style and Design
Visual Consistency
- “Use the same heading style on all slides”
- “Make all diagrams the same size”
- “Ensure consistent spacing throughout”
Color and Theme
- “Use a clean, professional look with blue accents”
- “Match our school colors (red and white)”
- “Keep the design minimal and readable”
Complete Workflow Example
After uploading your content and selecting the Slides template, EduArc generates your presentation. Here’s how you might refine it:1
Review generated slides
Browse through the generated presentation and identify areas for improvement
2
Add content detail
“Expand slide 5 with more data about temperature changes”
3
Include visuals
“Add graphs showing CO2 levels over time to slides 3 and 4”
4
Add interactivity
“Add discussion questions after each section”
5
Prepare for presenting
“Add speaker notes with key points and timing (aim for 30 minutes)”
6
Polish
“Add bullet builds so points appear one at a time”
Tips for Better Presentations
Less Text
Slides should support your talk, not replace it. Use keywords, not paragraphs.
One Idea per Slide
Keep each slide focused on a single concept or point.
Use Visuals
Diagrams, charts, and images are easier to understand than text.
Practice with Notes
Speaker notes help you remember what to say without reading slides.
