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.

Configurable output

Set course duration, target audience, learning objectives, tone, and whether to include assessments. 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 courses in any of 15 languages. On Standard and above, AI-translate them and export as a single multi-language SCORM package.

Universal LMS export

Export to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, cmi5, or standalone HTML. Your courses work with any learning management system.

Frequently asked questions

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. From there, you can refine every section, interaction, and assessment in Slate's editor to match your audience, voice, and learning objectives.
