Time required: 5 minutes + 1 day for the assignment.

Maintaining a consistent style across your LessonUp lessons is key. It ensures your branding is cohesive, resonates with your audience, and builds recognition.

One way to achieve this is through your lesson materials. Start by creating a 'base lesson' that incorporates your logo, colours, images, and reusable components. Arrange everything in the correct place so you can easily include these slides in future lessons using the favourites feature.

💡 Tip: If you have different audiences or themes, duplicate your 'base lesson' to create multiple versions, each with its own distinctive colour scheme or style.

Your base lesson contains all the slides you want to use more frequently. Here is a list of suggestions:

Title slide
Legend slide
Learning objectives slide
Informative slides
Slides with images (with or without hotspots)
Mind map
Quiz question

Open question
Photo question
Various drag-and-drop activities
Poll
Slide with spinner
Exit ticket (reviewing learning objectives)
Slide with logo

For further assistance with incorporating your branding into these slides, refer to the 'Layout' section of the LessonUp lesson plan.

💡 Tip: When designing the title slide, avoid placing the lesson title in the bottom-left corner behind the yellow banner. This is the first thing teachers see before opening your lesson, so position the title at the center, top-center, top-left, or top-right for visibility.

Save all the slides from your base lesson as favourites so you can easily reuse them in future lessons.

How to use favourites:

Create a slide you want to reuse.
Click the black star icon to save it.
To use a favourite, click 'Add' or the grey box with a white cross.
Then click the blue 'Favourites' button at the top right.
