How it works

Your Canva presentation is the source content. Slate is where the course is built, refined, and published.

1

Create your free Slate account

A free Slate account is required to use the Canva app. Sign up takes a minute. No credit card.

2

Configure in Canva

Open any presentation and launch the Slate side panel. Set your audience, course duration, learning objectives, and tone.

3

Generate, refine, and publish

Slate's AI builds a structured, interactive course from your slides. Refine in Slate, then share it via link or publish to any training platform.

What the Canva app can do

AI generates the course. You control the learning design.

AI-powered course generation

AI analyzes your presentation content and generates structured lessons with interactions, knowledge checks, and proper learning flow.

Bonus AI credits

Free creators receive 1,000 one-time bonus credits (never expire) when connecting Canva. Standard and Pro subscribers get 1,000 extra credits every month.

Configurable output

Set course duration, target audience, learning objectives, tone, and whether to include an assessment. The AI adapts the output to your specifications.

Theme support

Your Slate theme preset (colors, fonts, and logo) is applied automatically. Every course matches your organization's visual identity.

Multi-language ready

Draft your courses in any of 15 languages. On Standard and above, translate them with AI and publish as one multi-language SCORM package, with no separate uploads per language.

Not yet. Currently, the app reads your slide text and structure, then generates an interactive course from that content. Images and media from your presentation are not transferred. The generated course includes placeholder images that you can replace inside Slate. Media transfer is on our roadmap.
Yes. Every Slate-generated draft is structured around Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction, Mayer's Multimedia Principles, and constructive alignment for assessments.
