Presentation software allows users to create visual presentations using text and graphics, which can be delivered in various formats. Popular options include PowerPoint, KeyNote, Google Docs, and Open Office Impress. Presentations can be viewed full screen on a computer monitor or exported to PDF or Adobe Flash for distribution. Webinars can also be conducted using presentation software.
Presentation software is a tool used to create visual presentations. These presentations are usually delivered in a presentation format and can be created with a variety of programs. The programs allow you to combine text elements and graphic elements to convey important information to a group of people at the same time. Common uses for this type of software include teaching a new or complex concept to a group of students, announcing a new product launch or employee service campaign, training employees on key concepts or new policies or presenting a proposal to a group.
Presentation presentation software is available for both PC and Mac platforms. Options include Microsoft Office PowerPoint®, Apple KeyNote® and Google Docs presentation. A popular open source option for those who need the ability to create presentations without the high cost of commercial presentation software is Open Office Impress. Presentation of Google Docs is also free as it is part of the Google Docs line of services.
Every presentation software allows users to develop a slide show; however, the methods for viewing the presentation may vary from program to program. Both PowerPoint® software and Impress programs allow you to view the presentation full screen on a computer monitor, where the presenter can program or click changes to the slides. The presentation can be moved to a larger screen by connecting the monitor to another screen.
Some programs allow you to export your presentation to Adobe® Flash® or Portable Document Format (PDF) for distribution and individual viewing. Google Docs Presentation lets you save presentations in PowerPoint® format, so the program isn’t required to create the presentation, but it’s an option for those who want to view it. Presentations based on Adobe® Flash® may be the best for slideshow presentations that will be viewed online, because most people have the Adobe® Flash® player installed on their computers.
When presentation software is used to create a presentation for a web-based seminar or webinar, users can sign up for a service that allows them to conference with others and share their screen. This means that webinar attendees can watch the presentation on their computer screen while listening to the audio over a phone call. These webinars can be recorded to show both the presentation and the audio of the phone call for archived viewing purposes.
Presentation software makes the ability to communicate messages to a group of people much easier than other delivery methods. The ability to combine text and graphics makes the presentation visually appealing. Seeing the presentation while hearing about it helps both visual and audio learners absorb the information.
