About Prezi

This is a presentation tool similar to Microsoft PowerPoint or Sway. The tool is online and there is a basic license which is free. For additional functionality a fee is required; there is no NHS GGC subscription to this tool.  

Why use Prezi

There is a communication preference for using the panning and zooming animations that characterize Prezi presentations over say PowerPoint (Moulton, 2017).  Prezi definitely adds a little pizazz and the website also offers example prezis by others to provide inspiration.  The presentations can be viewed on any modern browser.

Drawbacks

1. The seesaw effect can leave your viewers a bit queasy  - so go lightly on the panning and zooming.
2. It cannot be edited on Internet Explorer only the following browsers are supported; Chrome, Firefox or Safari. This may be a barrier depending on your browser access.

A final warning!

Your presentation will be available on the internet so make sure you do not:

• use patient identifiable information.
• divulge sensitive information.
• cast the organisation in a dim light.
• infringe any copyright.
