     Abstract. SlideWiki’s goal is to revolutionise how educational material is au-
     thored, shared, and reused. By enabling authors and students to create and share
     slide decks as HTML in an open platform, communities around the world can
     benefit from materials created by world-leading educators on a wide range of
     topics. SlideWiki is an open source project, funded from the European Union’s
     Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The project involves 17
     partners who are developing, testing and trialling SlideWiki. In this tutorial we
     give a description of the platform and its main functionalities combined with a
     hands-on session. We will demonstrate how to use SlideWiki as an educational
     professional, industry professional, or as a user contributing to open educational
     material. We will detail how existing educational material can be imported in
     SlideWiki, how it can be edited and re-used in a collaborative setting, and how
     it can be exported to various formats and learning management systems. Par-
     ticipants will get familiar with the version management, translation, annotation,
     searching, editing, and presentation features in SlideWiki by using these in
     practice in an interactive way. We illustrate above with real-world examples
     from our experience in using and developing SlideWiki. Presentation of fea-
     tures will be followed by hands-on activities in which the participants exercise
     the use of the concepts explained. The tutorial is aims to have participants be
     able to do the following: (i) use SlideWiki to import educational material, col-
     laboratively create educational material, and export educational material to
     various formats; (ii) use the presentation features of SlideWiki, including the
     more advanced interactive presentation room; (iii) use other advanced
     SlideWiki features, including group edit rights, forking decks, questions and
     exams, and applying templates and themes.
