Week 9 - visme


Created using Visme. The Free Online Presentation Tool.

👍

                                  Visme
Pros -


  • Visme allows you to create beautiful presentations, infographics and banner ads quickly and easily.
  • Plenty of Infographic and Banner ad templates, all of which look highly professional.
  • The editor interface is sleek and very user friendly. At the same time, it's packed with features.
  • Simple drag-and-drop designing.
  • Huge range of free images, fonts, icons and infographic visuals.
  • Customization including editing, deleting and moving objects is easy.
  • Objects can be animated & given special effects.
  • Slideshow slide transmissions can be given special effects. 
  • Handy preview option.
  • Good range of support documentation.
  • Visme is extremely affordable, even for startups without many pennies to spare.


Cons -


  • Presentation templates are bland and low in number.
  • The preview option is only offered on the Banner Ad page, and it doesn't even work.
  • Although there's lot of documentation, the support options begin and end there. No contact email in sight. 
  • The dashboard and menus aren't quite as snazzy as those offered by competitors. As a result, it doesn't quite feel like a proper premium tool until you start editing. 


I found that this was a really good presentation tool, very much like Powtoon.  It was not as cartoony, but in essence it was the same.

It was very easy to use, It had a vast library of pictures, shapes and fonts.  You can add shadows to your text, add in music, videos and graphs.  The music doesn't loop on the slides, It only loops on each slide and will start again on the next one.  This is actually a good thing as you can change the music to each individual slide.

You can change the effects on all of your pictures, text and shapes, i.e. you can put a reflection, if you want, of a picture that you have uploaded and this looks really good.  You can also time your images, fonts or shapes to appear on the slide how you wish and in how many seconds, i.e. after 3 seconds and come in from the left.

A lot of the shapes on this, you do need to be a premium member for which is a little annoying but I enjoyed working on this presentation.

Week 1 - Powerpoint

👎                                PowerPoint      Pros - Keeps the presenter organised  Presents material in a legible neat fashion Students can print out slides ahead of time and make notes next to each slide during a lecture Cons - Important points and information often reduced to bullet points Presenter sometimes just reads from the slides and has little interaction The watchers attention is on the slides rather than the presenter  Little opportunity for intellectual digression as slides are presented in sequence I found Power-point to be a very basic and straight forward way of doing presentations.  Power-point allows the presenter to create simple slides to get their point across in a quick and efficient manner. However, having been to...
