What is the class?

Give it a name and say who it is for. PAuL reads the name out when he calls.

What is the class called? Describe it — optional. This is what people you invite will read.

A sentence or two, written for whoever is going to sit in. It is the only thing besides the name that a guest sees, so say what they will get out of it. This is not the objective in step 3 — that one is an instruction to PAuL and stays between you and him.

Number to call

How long? minutes

Between 5 and 180 minutes. PAuL paces the class to fill it.

What should he teach from?

The slides he presents, and everything else he should know when someone asks him a question.

Where do the slides come from?

I have a deck — a real presentation, exported as a PDF. He teaches it page by page, and what attendees see is exactly what you made. PAuL builds the deck — give him the document, notes or recording instead, and he writes slides to fill the time you booked, then teaches from those. Use this when what you have is source material rather than a presentation.

The deck — PDF only

Choose the slides

Supporting material — what he answers questions from

Choose files

Pick them one at a time or all at once — they add up, they do not replace each other.

Documents PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text, Markdown, CSV, JSON, HTML · up to 40 MB each. PowerPoint speaker notes are read too.
Recordings MP4, MOV, MP3, M4A, WAV, WebM · up to 2 GB each. The speech is transcribed and becomes part of what PAuL knows — an hour of video takes under three minutes. Past roughly two hours of talking, the later material stops being used.
Images PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP · diagrams and screenshots are described and added as notes.
Anything else is left out, and the class will tell you which files it skipped.

How should he run it?

All of this has a sensible default. Change what matters and build.

Which voice? — PAuL keeps his name whichever you pick Objective — optional. What should this class actually cover?

Leave it empty and PAuL teaches the whole deck. Fill it in and he narrows the session to that, using everything else you upload as background for questions he is asked. Other examples: “Only the roof section of the birdhouse build.” · “Focus on what changed in the new release; assume they know the old one.” · “Aim it at sales engineers, not developers.” Changing it later means building the class again.
