Which of the following is an advantage to using free-form slides such as Prezi

Embedding media, especially videos (like YouTube)

Offering something different than the cliché Powerpoint

Living on the web so the files are easy to share.

Can make users dizzy with it's constant back and forth and in and out.

Users must be careful when designing presentations as they can become quite busy.

Powerpoint is still better in some circumstances depending on the situation.

User interface of the tool

Templates provided by Prezi

Offline presentation

Difficult to convert presentations to PDF

Time to load the presentation

Prezi is an excellent, accessible, intuitive, dynamic interaction program.

Prezi video is a wonderful tool because you can use content, drawings, music, and various other ideas while you speak.

It can be connected through LinkedIn or Facebook; I choose Facebook because it brings me the version already in Portuguese

The disadvantage of Prezi compared to PowerPoint is that it can only be downloaded on a notebook with 4 gigabytes of RAM; this is a technical problem that sometimes leads to other presentation choices.

The ghost effect with improper use of zoom, blurred images; double attention is needed with this layering effect.

It offers a large number of pre-designed templates that allow the slides to come to life, can be converted into a presentation with a unique design and allows the user who is making the slide to organize the information. Each of the templates that Prezi offers have bright and formal colors for all kinds of topics in general.

The autosave system that Prezi offers is quite advanced since it is capable of saving all the information that is inserted in the slide that is being made automatically. Prezi performs the process automatically every 15 seconds, allowing users to keep their data completely safe against any loss of information.

Prezi offers a great variety of shapes, drawings that are available so that the user can insert them into the presentation without any restrictions. I love these shapes and drawings that it allows me to insert, I feel that it gives more life to my slide and makes it much more creative when it is finished. Prezi offers me drawings of all kinds, from drawings of people to drawings of vehicles, trees, children, houses, and many more.

One of the things that I don't like about Prezi is the "Prezi Next" system. This system was implemented in Prezi Classic because it would offer better compatibility with respect to the Adobe system, however, this was a system I did not like. It was designed for those companies that are based on making slides only for concept maps or similar. Prezi Classic is a more open platform and offers better resources, offers better templates, and greater innovation when it comes to making slides of all kinds.

My second criticism goes directly to the system or desktop application that Prezi offers because it is quite a slow application and it consumes a lot of space on the computer. Currently, this application takes a long time to load the data of each slide when successfully logged in, which makes our work very difficult and causes us to lose more time when viewing or modifying any slide.

It can be adapted to different scenarios since it allows formal presentations. It makes more dynamic presentations and can even be used to gamify learning.

It is highly modifiable since it allows you to adapt the default templates, create your own templates. You can even convert your ppt to Prezi format to later make them more entertaining.

It is easy to use, at least in the most basic way, since if you want to do something basic you don't require any special skills to be able to do it without problems.

An option that automatically assigns the font size to make sure it's not too small.

A predetermined minimum size of the objects, since sometimes you can accidentally make it so small that later it cannot be used or seen correctly.

To the free versions, offline use of Prezi and export to PDF would be great. Many times they ask for presentations and they cannot be shared digitally (not everyone has an account) or in physical format (paper).

Transforms boring ppt style presentations into more dynamic and entertaining presentations by adding movements between objects, by being able to zoom, or rotate the screen. It is especially useful to me when we are studying the solar system.

Another very good thing is that you can convert your ppt to Prezi format with just a few clicks, giving life to the presentations.

Prezi also gives you the possibility of using a free account (with certain restrictions) which is very good, especially if you are a student since it allows you to have the experience of creating a fun presentation easily and without spending your money.

Allows you to save and share your presentations quite easily and quickly.

I think it would be a good idea to let the free versions also download your Prezi presentations, perhaps adding a watermark or something similar.

In the beginning, getting used to the margins and sizes of the elements is a bit complicated, so perhaps it would be convenient to add a kind of help or tool that could self-correct the sizes and locations in case there is a possible problem with these (especially with the sizes if you make them too small).

Pre-built templates are engaging and attractive.

Animations are smooth.

The interface is clean and professional.

Templates are effective but creating new slides can be more difficult than other platforms.

Online hosting can sometimes cause the platform to move slower than alternatives.

The primary site can sometimes be a bit difficult to navigate.

Unlike PowerPoint, Prezi is very dynamic. You can move around the entire presentation, jumping from one place to another, entering images, moving the background, making turns, etc. And if you add some music and colors to that, you have almost a 3d presentation.

It has the advantage of having a free version and a paid version, so if you don't know Prezi, and you want to know what it is about, you can use the paid version and see if this way of making presentations suits you and is interesting, without having than to spend a single peso.

Likewise, the idea of ​​having the free version is very good for students, since not everyone has the possibility to buy, and a free version is better than a pirated version of a similar program.

Although it seems very complicated at the beginning, when you start using it it becomes quite easy, and you realize that its use in general and its environment are very pleasant. Everything is well indicated, so you know what function each thing fulfills.

I think a good improvement would be the possibility that the free version (I use paid), could also work offline, so it would be more accessible to everyone.

Greater variation of templates, or thematic templates could be an excellent idea and with that it would save a lot of work time.

The PPT to Prezi function, it doesn't really convince me, it never suits me very well.

Easy to use

Visually appealing

Different than PowerPoint

Not a ton of pre-created templates to work from

Not only can it be used as an alternative to boring and traditional slides, but it can also be used as final software since it is very complete.

Its interface is really very easy to navigate, making this one more point to stay with Prezi.

It contains very good and several templates in case you don't have much time to create a presentation from scratch.

There is a small learning curve in which you must learn more than all the keyboard shortcuts to be able to modify the objects (or for me, it was like that).

The performance of the platform is extremely bad, since I know Prezi has had that problem.

Sometimes I have problems opening the downloaded presentation. I do not understand what happens since it does not show any kind of error, it only closes immediately after opening it. I have had this problem on certain PCs.

It provides creative ways of denoting information.

Colorful and bright.

Rapid movements inside the presentation.

Rapid movements within presentations can cause motion sickness for certain students.

You are unable to turn off certain movement features within the presentation.

All its features are very easy to use, its functions are very simple in all aspects.

Visually it is very nice, it captures more attention from viewers than normal presentations.

You don't really need to be a professional to be able to make presentations here, however, people who don't understand very well how its features work can easily find YouTube tutorials that help to forge that necessary basic knowledge.

It is very attractive to be able to see 3D slides helping the user to be more creative and build their ideas from scratch on this platform.

It is very simple to be able to include some audio or video within the slide.

For new users they should include something similar to mini tutorials and thus streamline the learning process.

Since I have used Prezi, its performance has not improved, it seems that it has eaten all the resources of my PC. So this indicates that Prezi can practically not be used well on old devices.

Its interface should improve a little, placing most of its functions within the user's view and thus be able to understand its use easier since most of its functions are within key combinations.

Creates a clear flow of the message.

Gives clear instructions on how to use it.

Makes it easy to share.

Makes our presentations and conversations more engaging.

Some things to add on are a little too complicated for a beginner audience.

Some of the templates aren't the easiest to edit.

the pricing is a little more than needed.

Interactive slideshow

Embedding pictures

Personalization

Sometimes hard to reconfigure and move things around

Hard to modify existing Prezis

Interactive - This is a huge strength because it is different and it forces the student's eyes to follow everything because of how interesting it is.

Creative - This allows me to be more creative than a Powerpoint since I am able to design a lesson that has more features to it like zooming in and zooming out and even adding music.

Lots of features - This software allows me to use many different features that are only present here such as adding music, zooming in and zooming out, putting words on top of pictures, etc.

Learning Curve - This one is a big one because you do have to be patient and willing to learn how to use the program. There is a lot that it can do, but it takes time to learn

Time-consuming - Because of all the features that are in the program, it can be pretty time-consuming because you want to use all the features and make the presentation the best it can be.

Hard on the computer - Due to how much it can do and how much moving it does, it does require you to have a stronger computer or else you may experience freezing.

Online Interface

Easy Collaboration

Eye-Catching Designs and Transitions

Web Interface is a bit more complicated at first than Powerpoint

Some people won't want to switch from what they're used to

I believe requires internet connection to use unless there's a downloadable client

Unlike Powerpoint, Prezi has a creative design tool wherein someone can start from scratch and add content through creative designs on it.

Prezi is very interactive and engaging. It allows for video and audio files to be embedded into the presentation at a low byte rate thus making the entire presentation eat less of the hard drive.

It is for all ages. Is free and can easily be shared on all communication platforms.

One needs to have internet to use Prezi. Powerpoint and Google Slides can be used offline as well.

Not widely used by different businesses hence when sharing the files, it can quickly be rejected by different clients.

It can have some technical issues when working on MacBook. Also, a lot more time consuming to export the file on to the desktop or other spaces on PC.

It provides moment that helps highlight ideas and draw them together.

it's intuitive and whether you start with a blank presentation or use a template it always adds pop to any presentation or training.

Since it's cloud-based, you can start a presentation on a desktop, move it to at tablet - continue to edit it and then use run it from your phone via airplay.

The price - It's a fantastic tool if you have the budget for it, but the fact that it is more than Microsoft Office is a bit extreme.

The ability to import fonts would be really helpful, especially with branding.

It would be nice if you had the option to purchase it outright in addition to the subscription model.

Keeps the watcher(s) engaged.

Limits text to desirable key words/phrases because of the layout.

Includes a lot of stock images that can be used in presentations, but allows upload of own images, as well.

Many of the templates are programmed with too much movement zooming in and out, which can induce vertigo or headaches. Must be prepared to manually alter as needed.

The user interface is not necessarily intuitive. I too frequently have had to search for help with functions that I feel I should be able to figure out myself based on the layout/interface (functions I already use in other programs and they're easy to find).

It does not cooperate well with embedded audience participation systems, such as Polleverywhere.

Prezi keeps audience members engaged throughout presentations,

Prezi's templates are easy to navigate and are designed better than PowerPoint's templates.

Adjusting the pre-set transitions can be a little time consuming.

The images/icons/backgrounds could be a little better in terms of design. However, it's leaps and bounds over the 1990s looking options in PowerPoint.

It has many templates available for each slide.

It has pre-designed objects that give the slide more life and creativity.

The computer platform has a certain problem when converting the slide to PDF, since it shows the process your are loading, but the PDF download never ends.

The auto-save that Prezi has does not always work correctly, causing loss of information.

Fun interesting presentations

Create ways to present things

Takes time to onboard and learn.

Could be viewed as funky rather than professional.

Ease of design. You can pretty easily submit your information to a presentation and the design pay-off is great.

Variety of concepts. No matter what you're working on, Prezi has a type of presentation for your needs.

Remote access. It's very easy to access your presentations from anywhere, send them, and share them!

Design instruction. The templates are great and attractive, but I have had issued editing a "template," it can be confusing and frustrating with no real support.

Embedding and HTML coding. When I used Prezi, these features weren't available but would have been helpful.

Upgraded integrations. You could input videos, but maybe adding gif support would be appreciated.

Drilling down is easy. Just design carefully and you should be able to navigate easily in and out of complex hierarchies.

The stand-alone presentation functionality is a plus. You can download the playable version of your file and use it offline whenever you need.

Many samples are available from the community, in different categories to help you gain experience quickly.

Advanced design is not easy for standard users. You should have some understanding of layers, hierarchy design, etc.

We encountered some difficulties in editing. Sometimes you can not select very close frames, or you may create new objects accidentally.

We experienced some color transition issues. The screen flickered with red while transitioning between some objects.

The templates are totally adaptable, and if you do not like them, you can do a custom one without any difficulty.

Both the free and paid versions are quite good and useful to start using Prezi.

You can store your presentations in your own cloud. Also, if you have the paid version you can download your presentations.

Prezi allows transforming the old PowerPoint presentations into a Prezi format, making them more dynamic and achieving an air of innovation.

Nothing at the moment. The operation is very good.
