Tips for preparing PowerPoint slides

• Always bear in mind that learning content is viewed on various platforms and end devices (mobile phone/tablet/laptop/desktop) and content should therefore be designed as clearly as possible.

• Rule of thumb: 6 lines of text per slide with 6 words per line 

• Notes on slide headings:
  • You can display the headings in the respective slides or
  • You use the titles in the respective learning steps.
  • When you have the system convert a PowerPoint into a course, the titles in the course steps are automatically hidden by the system to avoid double headings (in the PPT and in the learning step). 

• Stay static. If possible, do not use any effects or animations on the slides

• A font size of 30 or 40 is appropriate

• It is best to place longer texts in the notes area of PowerPoint. These are then imported. When importing, make sure to select the  Add notes checkbox. 

Tip: Do you use licensed or unusual fonts? Coursepath supports a large number of fonts, but it can (rarely) occur that your exact font is not displayed correctly. In this case, you can use a similar font or save the PowerPoint beforehand as a PDF.
