It is important to stay current in the ever-changing presentation landscape. With online presentations representing the majority of events lately, technology is transforming to keep up. With so many options available to users these days, how can your presentation stand out? Inundated with information, attendees are looking for a way to differentiate your brand from the rest. Let’s review some presentation apps that can take your upcoming event to the next level.
Kahoot
First, who doesn’t like a little competition? Kahoot is a game-based learning tool enabling users to submit answers and earn points for quick, correct answers. For some learners, bragging rights are enough to get them engaged. For others, sweetening the deal with prizes helps pique interest. In any case, Kahoot is a great incentive for your listeners to process the information you are giving them and use their new knowledge right away.
Poll Everywhere
Next, worried your audience doesn’t want to download another presentation app? Nervous that the inconspicuous nature of competition might turn your attendees off? Live polling may be the answer! With Poll Everywhere, users can access your questions online or text in answers. The polls can be kept completely anonymous and if you think you will have fewer than 25 responses, the app is free!
Twitter is a common tool that, if used with other apps, can do much to enhance your event. First, consider using an app like walls.io to create a Twitter wall. This is a live-streamed wall where attendees can post in real time about your event and it appears on your website. Alternately, you can also utilize Hootfeed, a tool that can capture questions from the audience in the form of tweets. Remember, harnessing the power of a simple Twitter hashtag is a great default if all that seems too complicated. Unique hashtags can help categorize posts, increase engagement, attract followers, and strengthen your brand image.
Glisser
Have you ever kicked yourself for not screenshotting or taking a picture of a useful slide from a presentation you attended? With Glisser, you can share your slide deck with your audience so they can mark up your slides and even view them long after your presentation is over. This presentation app is especially helpful for internal presentations where you want your listeners to utilize your deck in future applications. Digitalized notes ensure your attendees won’t lose or misplace the information they jot down from your presentation.
Take some time this week to familiarize yourself with the many options available for presentation engagement. Presentation apps have come a long way in a short amount of time, and if you are the presenter that introduces your audience to new and exciting ways to get involved, you won’t soon be forgotten.
