Enhancing Textbook Slide Decks with ChatGPT

This paper introduces a design science methodology for creating a reusable workflow that utilizes generative AI software ChatGPT and Python programming to enhance textbook PowerPoint presentations. Traditional publisher slide decks tend to contain dense text and full sentences, resulting in poor visual hierarchy and ineffective instructional delivery. This solution merges prompt engineering techniques with automation scripts to create concise slides with strong visual appeal that adhere to modern design standards. The artifact created in a senior IS capstone course allows educators to update slides quickly while decreasing students' cognitive load and matching presentation best practices. AI-enhanced tools enable scalable instructional design advancements through this workflow demonstration
