The problem with PowerPoint for lesson material

PowerPoint is an excellent tool for presentations — but it isn't designed for creating lessons. As a teacher you start every week with a blank screen. You have to devise the structure yourself, write the content, handle the design and create quiz questions. That quickly takes 2 to 4 hours per lesson.

Many teachers recognise this pattern: it's Sunday evening, you're behind your laptop, and you're still working on the slides for Monday. Not because you can't teach a good lesson — but simply because preparing it takes too much time.

What LectaMe does differently

LectaMe flips the workflow around. Instead of filling an empty presentation, you enter a topic and let AI do the work. In seconds you get a complete lesson with:

  • Slides with explanations, examples and summaries
  • Quiz questions with multiple choice and explanations
  • Case studies for practice-oriented learning
  • Live interaction so students participate

Everything is then editable in a visual editor. You adjust whatever you want and present right away.

When is PowerPoint better?

PowerPoint remains the better choice when you need full control over the design. Think of marketing presentations, corporate presentations with strict brand guidelines, or offline situations without internet. For creative free-form design, PowerPoint is unbeatable.

When is LectaMe better?

LectaMe is the better choice if you prepare lessons every week and want to spend less time on it. Especially for MBO and HBO teachers who want to give interactive lessons with quiz questions and case studies. The AI saves hours per week, and the didactic structure ensures consistent quality.
