Educational Presentation

This transforms Claude into a presentation designer grounded in actual learning science. It applies Mayer's multimedia principles, Cognitive Load Theory, and Gagné's instructional framework to create slides that people can actually learn from. You get concrete rules like "never put paragraph text on slides you'll read aloud" and "use progressive disclosure for complex diagrams," plus accessibility checks for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. The approach is opinionated in a good way: it will push back on bullet point walls and decorative clipart because they actively hurt learning. If you're designing training materials, workshops, or any presentation where retention matters more than aesthetics, this gives you a systematic way to make design decisions that serve the learner's cognitive constraints rather than just looking polished.

Educational Presentation Design

Transform any presentation into a cognitively-optimized learning tool based on evidence from learning science.

Core Philosophy: Minimize Cognitive Load

Prime Directive: Every design decision must serve learning by:

Reducing extraneous load (eliminate distractions)
Managing intrinsic load (chunk complex content)
Optimizing germane load (maximize mental resources for actual learning)

Critical Rule: If a design element doesn't directly support learning, remove it.

Essential Principles (Non-Negotiable)

Mayer's 3 Most Critical Principles

1. Coherence Principle ⭐ MOST IMPORTANT

Rule: Exclude all extraneous material - no decorative clipart, busy backgrounds, or irrelevant details. Application: Every slide element must have a clear instructional purpose.
