PowerPoint & AI in teaching: Efficient design of engaging presentations with AI feedback [DiL]
The effective presentation of specialist knowledge for the development of student skills is a core objective of university teaching. PowerPoint serves as a visual aid—not as a script—to specifically support teaching and learning processes. PowerPoint enables me to support my lecture in a structured and visual manner. The professional use of PowerPoint enables teachers to present complex topics in an understandable way through concise visualizations and well-thought-out animations.
User-friendly slides are characterized by clear hierarchies and a well-thought-out information architecture. Functions such as morphing, zoom, and SmartArt are not only used for aesthetic design, but above all to clarify connections and reduce complexity. Continuous text is deliberately moved to accompanying materials, while the presentation focuses on the essentials: images, graphics, key messages, and structures that facilitate understanding.
In addition, the role of teachers is changing. Knowledge transfer takes a back seat; we are primarily designers and facilitators of learning processes. AI tools can support us in this by providing feedback on the structure and organization of content, defining learning objectives more precisely, anticipating potential comprehension problems, and suggesting situation-appropriate visualizations.
This seminar works with you on both technical skills and didactic strategies for contemporary, student-centered teaching. You will learn how to use PowerPoint functions and AI tools to enable students to recognize facts, analyze problems, and make informed decisions.
In addition all participants will get data driven feedback from our ZHL own NOVA analytic system. It visualises your doing with voice, body, gesture and mimics. The data will help you to improve your presentation skills. It's fascinating!
Learning outcomes:
Participants will be able to...
- anticipate learning and comprehension challenges and counter reduction techniques
- create learning-friendly digital presentations with PowerPoint for optimal comprehension
- use AI tools to create or optimize their own slides and presentation skills
- design engaging presentation formats
- create modern visualization techniques for visual access
Speaker
Paul Dölle is a research associate at the Centre for University Teaching (ZHL) at the University of Bayreuth. His work focuses on the conceptual development of teaching and learning across the University of Bayreuth. Since 2014, he has been working on digital teaching, higher education didactics, and the integration of innovative teaching and learning formats across different academic disciplines.
He collaborates with lecturers from a wide range of faculties to develop teaching concepts, accompanies their implementation and reflection, and contributes to the further development of teaching formats at the level of individual courses, chairs, and degree programmes. In addition, he organises and supports media-based teaching projects, is responsible for the ZHL video studio, and coordinates the lending of analogue and digital media equipment.
His areas of expertise include activating teaching formats such as flipped-classroom approaches, the moderation of small and large learning groups, and the training and ongoing support of tutors and e-tutors. Since 2023, he has also been working intensively on the use of artificial intelligence in higher education teaching and assessment contexts and coordinates the ZHL seminar programme.
