Time required: 5 minutes

🏠 A Basic Lesson as a Template

To keep your visual identity consistent, it’s a good idea to start by creating a basic lesson template.
Gather the following elements:
  • Logo
  • Colour codes (hex or RGB values)
  • Images
  • Frequently used components

✅ Which slides belong in a basic lesson?

A basic lesson includes all the slides you regularly use. For example:
  • 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 (revising learning objectives)
  • Slide with logo

⚠️ Note: There’s a yellow channel banner in the bottom-left corner of every slide. It’s best to place your slide titles either centred, top-left, or top-right.
