Creating Presentations with Gamma
Graphic with the text ‘AI Tinker Sessions’ on a blue digital‑themed background with two gear icons
The LDTI GenAI Tinker Sessions provide an opportunity for academic staff to try out different tools, experiment with their functionality, and think about how they could be used in day-to-day work. Tinker sessions are intended for academic staff and are focused on teaching activities.
Join LDTI for a discussion of, and hands on experimentation with, the use of Gamma in educational settings.
Gamma is an AI-powered tool used to create presentations, documents, and websites from simple text prompts. In this session we will explore how the tool may be used the tool to generate a draft slide deck from a single line prompt (such as a core concept or course topic area) before moving on to more advanced features.
In the lead up to the session, LDTI will email all registrants with details of any supporting material that will be required. Given the hands-on nature of these sessions, recordings are not available. However, resources (e.g. example prompts etc.) are shared following each session.
