University of Pittsburgh researcher has developed SLAID, an innovative educational application designed to assist students in preparing and refining presentations. Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), SLAID analyzes source material, generates customized presentation outlines based on specified contexts, and evaluates recorded presentations for alignment with the outline and cognitive demand levels. This tool aims to enhance presentation quality and learning outcomes by providing structured guidance and feedback.
Description
SLAID is a software tool that leverages AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to assist users in creating and analyzing presentations. Key features include document upload/search, AI-powered document analysis, contextual presentation outline generation, an editable checklist, integrated recording tools, AI-driven presentation analysis, feedback and reporting, and secure video handling. The tool automates outline creation based on document analysis and presentation context, assesses cognitive demand levels, and provides comprehensive feedback to improve presentation effectiveness.
Applications
• Education (K-12, higher education)
• Professional development
• Corporate training
Advantages
SLAID improves presentation preparation by providing structured guidance and feedback, leading to more effective presentations. It enhances learning outcomes by focusing on cognitive demand levels, encourages deeper engagement with the material, and saves users significant time and effort through automation. The integrated workflow from document analysis to presentation recording, analysis, and feedback within a single platform is a significant advancement.
Invention Readiness
A prototype of SLAID exists, and its performance has been validated. The software is ready for further development and commercialization.
