In this 90-minute demo, we’ll interactively create a short training course in PowerPoint, using ChatGPT and Copilot.

Based on a topic suggested by participants, we’ll use AI to come up with:

• A title (then we’ll choose from among the suggestions)
• An outline of lessons, which we’ll modify until we have what we want
• The detailed content for the lessons
• PowerPoint slides for the entire course
• Main points for each lesson
• A summary for each lesson
• Announcement copy for the course, in at least two writing styles
• A series of promotional emails for the course

Note:  Thanks to Holly Hunt for asking (after the session): " I noticed that you had mentioned providing a link that Microsoft providing on the specifics needed for the templates besides just the 15 layouts and where the text boxes go."  But she didn't find it.
