PowerPoint or PDF: upload the slides as they are
You don't need to convert anything. Upload the .pptx file and EduCorrect reads every slide in order: the text in titles, bullet points and text boxes, plus the speaker notes, which is often where the real explanation sits. If your lecturer shared the slides as a PDF, upload that instead; it works the same way as long as the text can be selected.
Slides from Google Slides or Keynote work too. In Google Slides, choose File, then Download, then Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF. In Keynote, export to PowerPoint or PDF. Older .ppt files need to be saved as .pptx first.
What you get from one deck
Each upload becomes a study pack built around the quiz:
- Up to 10 questions per pack on the free plan and up to 30 on Pro and Extreme. A short deck gets fewer questions rather than invented ones.
- Multiple-choice questions with four options, plus short-answer questions you type yourself.
- Instant marking with a short explanation after every answer, and a button to retry only the questions you missed.
- Your weak topics, ranked by how often you got them wrong, so you know which slides to go back to.
- Flashcards and study notes from the same slides, if you want them.
Why quiz yourself instead of re-reading slides
Slides are built to be glanced at, which is exactly why re-reading them feels like progress: every bullet point looks familiar. Familiar isn't the same as remembered. Answering a question makes you pull the idea out of memory, and that effort is what makes it stick. Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found that students who tested themselves on a passage remembered more of it a week later than students who spent the same time re-reading it.
A quiz made from your own slides keeps that practice inside your course: the same topics, in the same order and in the words your lecturer used, instead of a generic question bank.
Getting a good quiz from slides
- Upload one lecture per pack. A single deck gives more focused questions than a whole term merged into one file.
- Text on the slides is what counts. Words that only appear inside images, charts or diagrams may not be read, so a slide that is just a picture adds little to the quiz.
- If your slides are thin, write the explanation in the speaker notes: EduCorrect reads those too.
- Files up to 20 MB (50 MB on Extreme). Very long decks are trimmed to roughly the first 45,000 words, and you're told when that happens.
- Use a PDF with selectable text. Scanned pages (photos of paper) aren't supported yet: if you can highlight and copy the words in your PDF viewer, it will work.
Practice, not a shortcut
EduCorrect is a learning aid. It turns material you already have into practice and never writes essays or answers assignment questions for you. AI can still make mistakes, so if an answer looks wrong, check it against your slides.
