Redesigning Publisher Slide Decks with ChatGPT: A Design Science Approach to Instructional Artifact Development

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 often contain dense text and complete sentences, resulting in a 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 enables educators to update slides quickly, thereby decreasing students' cognitive load and aligning with best presentation practices.AIenhanced tools enable scalable advancements in instructional design through this workflow demonstration.
