Introduction
Have you ever spent hours creating slides—writing content, searching for illustrations, arranging layouts, and designing visuals for a single lesson?
That process can now become much easier and faster with just a few lines of prompt.
When combined with the Ourdemy platform, all content—from slides and infographics to full lessons—can be managed in a professional, secure, and convenient way. This solution is especially helpful for new instructors or anyone who wants to focus on teaching and content development, without worrying about design or technical tasks.
1. The Powerful Impact of Technology
⭐ Save 70–90% of preparation time
Instead of spending hours creating slides, arranging layouts, and finding visuals, AI helps automate most of the workflow:
- Break content into logical slides with a clear flow
- Summarize key points into concise bullet points
- Suggest images, icons, and infographics aligned with the content
- Export in multiple formats: slides, infographics, PDFs, or complete lesson materials
As a result, instructors can focus on what to teach and how to teach, rather than technical execution.
⭐ Consistent content – professional presentation
A unified style is maintained across lessons, chapters, and the entire course:
- Consistent fonts, colors, and slide layouts
- Charts, icons, and visuals follow the same visual tone
- When imported into Ourdemy, the entire course flows smoothly, is easy to follow, and looks professional
This is especially important for long courses, multi-lesson programs, or when expanding into multiple languages.

⭐ Enhanced learner experience
Learning materials become more engaging and effective:
- Concise, visual, easy-to-follow slides
- Infographics illustrating complex concepts
- Real-world examples or case studies
- End-of-lesson exercises and summarized key takeaways
2. What Can AI Create for Your Lessons?
2.1. Lesson slides for each lesson
AI can generate complete slide decks for each lesson in a coherent, visual, and professional manner, including:
- Opening slide: Lesson topic, objectives, and overview
- Content slides by objective: Clear breakdowns with concise bullet points
- Example slides: Case studies, real-life scenarios, illustrative images
- Infographic slides: Transform complex data into easy-to-understand visuals
- Summary slides: Highlight key points for quick review
- Exercise or quiz slides: Practice questions or activities directly on slides
✨ Key strength: AI automatically suggests logical layouts, appropriate images, and icons—so you don’t need to invest much effort in design, while still achieving polished, consistent, and easy-to-follow slides.
2.2. Infographics for content summaries
Infographics help learners remember faster, visualize concepts clearly, and absorb complex information more easily. AI can automatically generate many types of infographics, including:
- Mind maps: Show relationships between key ideas and summarize entire lessons
- Flowcharts: Visualize processes, steps, and logical sequences
- Timelines: Present events or progressions over time
- Concept comparisons: Clearly distinguish between two ideas
- Checklists: List steps or tasks to complete
- 5-step processes: Summarize methods into memorable steps
- Chapter summaries: Highlight main ideas and key takeaways
✨ Tip: Simply copy AI-generated content and paste it into Canva, Figma, PowerPoint, or your preferred design tool to fine-tune colors, fonts, and visuals. The result is clean, engaging infographics that make lessons more memorable.
2.3. Complete lesson content
AI doesn’t just create slides and infographics—it can also draft full, detailed lesson content, ensuring clarity and logical structure, including:
- Theoretical content: Clear explanations of key concepts and terminology
- Examples and case studies: Real-world illustrations for faster understanding and application
- In-depth explanations: Clarify difficult points and analyze critical ideas
- Interactive questions: Encourage self-checking and learner engagement
- End-of-lesson exercises: Reinforce knowledge and application skills
- Sample dialogues (for language courses): Practical conversations with practice suggestions
✨ Tip: When uploaded to Ourdemy, you can split this content by lesson and attach slides, infographics, and exercises—creating a smooth, visual, and learner-friendly experience.
3. Sample Prompt: Creating Complete Slides from a Simple Lesson
Sample lesson: “Basic Food Groups”
To let AI generate a complete slide deck, simply prepare a clear and detailed prompt:
Create slide content for the lesson “Basic Food Groups”.
Requirements:
- Title slide
- 4–6 main content slides
- One slide with real-life examples
- One slide summarizing key takeaways
- One review-question slide
- Use short, clear sentences
- Suggest suitable images or icons for each slide
- Use a logical layout, one main idea per slide
💡 Notes when using AI:
- Adjust tone and wording to match your teaching style
- Add or remove slides to emphasize key content
- AI suggests visuals, but you should choose images that fit your learners and course tone
4. Sample Prompt: Creating an Infographic
To create a lesson-summary infographic with AI, you can use the following prompt:
Create an infographic for the lesson “Basic Food Groups”.
Requirements:
- Summarize 5 main food groups: vegetables, fruits, grains, protein, fats
- Each group includes name, main role, and example foods
- Use icons or symbols for each group
- Clear, visual layout divided into 5 sections
- Friendly, beginner-friendly style
- Output as a mind map or checklist
💡 Tips:
- You can request color tones that match your slides for visual consistency
- After AI generates the infographic, copy it into Canva or PowerPoint, add icons or images, and use it as a visual lesson summary
