Have you experienced that moment where you realise...

...that the person who's presenting a talk to you has written a Powerpoint that contains 235 slides and you wonder if faking your own death is an option?

Death by Powerpoint is probably recognised by coroners in certain US states. Okay, I jest but Powerpoint can certainly send students into a coma from which they may not recover in a hurry.

This message is just to point out that there are alternatives to Powerpoint which can present materials in a more visually interesting way. If you're prepared to try something new.

I've written a number of presentations using a web-based tool called Prezi. You may even have sat in on one.

To see what it can do, the introductory presentation on Prezi's own website is below.



It looks like it's going to be complicated to use but it really isn't. Promise.
