📚 Manually Transforming Academic Slides into Didask Exercises

Discover how to turn your slides into Didask exercises, even if they weren’t initially designed for this purpose.

Written by Océane

Whether you deliver in-person or remote training on theoretical/academic topics using a written format (e.g., slides), here’s a step-by-step guide to convert them into Didask exercises:

1/ Review your training material and identify the key messages you want to convey.


​For example, from this slide, one key message is: "Our cognitive biases influence the way we analyse the world around us."


2/ In your Didask project, match each message with a mistake learners might make.
​


3/ Refine the identified mistakes:

  • Group similar mistakes using arrows or drag-and-drop.

  • Eliminate any redundant ones.

4/ Once you have a set of at least 4 mistakes or expected changes on a similar theme, group them under a single module.

  • If necessary, move granules to a different module.

  • Keep in mind that each module should contain no more than 8 practical scenarios.

5/ For each mistake, create an exercise using the granule editor.

  • Here, step away from your original material

  • Imagine real-world situations where learners might make these mistakes.


6/ Use feedback, the key message, and explanations to add additional information derived from your slides.
