Course Workshop & Avatars
Phase 1 · Content: outline and slides
VoorDocenten
Define modules and slides, then work out every slide with narration and presentation — the longest and most important step.
Waarvoor#
The focus belongs at the beginning: on the content. Look, figure and video only come afterwards.

KlikpadCourseContentOutlineSlides
- 1“Outline”: create, move, rename modules and slides — or set the time and have a suggestion made. Via “Change scope” modules, slides and speaking time can also be adjusted afterwards, also per module (Afb. 1).
Afb. 1 “Change scope”: modules, slides and speaking time — for the whole course or per module. - 2“Slides”: slide by slide write the narration or have it generated and choose a presentation (Afb. 2).
Afb. 2 The slide overview: every slide as a tile with the status of narration and presentation. - 3Graphic or image: describe what should be seen and generate it — a suggestion with versions to browse is created; only “Accept” inserts it.
- 4Record stage directions for the presentation (for the draft and per slide).
- 5For notes from the fact check, check the highlighted passage and accept or discard the suggestion with sources.
Instellingen en schakelaars#
Geen eigen schakelaar in de catalogus — de functie hoort bij haar omgeving.
What a slide consists of#
- Narration — what the avatar says.
- Presentation — a template (e.g. bullet list, comparison, key figure), an explanatory graphic, an image or a freely designed surface.
- On the free surface: text, image, video, graphic, shape and the speaker spot; at most 40 elements per slide.
- Optional: an exercise, a role play or a question at the end of the slide.
AI suggests, the person decides#
Everything an AI generates — text, graphic, image — first lands as a suggestion next to the slide. Several versions can be browsed; “Accept” or “Discard”. Nothing lands on the slide unasked, and every acceptance can be undone.
Tips#
- Explanatory graphics reveal themselves in time with the voice-over: markers in the narration determine when which element appears.
- No generation without a description — whoever has no idea can get suggestions with “Ideas for a graphic”.

Verwante functies#
- New slide editor (“Stage”)Edit slides directly on the slide: grab, move, rotate, align every element — with history, named versions and the original, to which you can return at any time.
- Explanatory graphics and imagesGraphics are created from the narration and reveal themselves in time with the voice-over — as text instead of pixels, hence translatable; images show a scene. Both only as a suggestion, never unasked.
- Fact check of the contentVerifiable statements in courses are checked against sources by two models — when new slides are generated and on a schedule across the whole inventory; every case is recorded in a file that cannot be retouched.
- Text models of the workshopWhich language model writes the slide texts can be enabled per tenant — three models from different providers, one of them processed in the EU (Paris); models that cannot be chosen are greyed out with a reason.
