WEEK 15 (FYP 1)

PREPARE SLIDE

For this week, I will prepare my slide for the presentation next week on 22 March. My advisor advise to use Software Prezi for my silde. It similar with Power Point.

What is Prezi ?

Prezi is different from PowerPoint in terms of interface. It contains a zooming user interface (ZUI) allowing users to zoom in and zoom out of their media presentation. Since, it is a software program with flash-based feature, instead of a slide Prezi starts with a blank canvas. If PowerPoint employs linear format, Prezi is non-linear. This software is made to replace the slide-based presentation so that the presenter can easily jump into different topics and ideas.

Pros

• Prezi presentation has zoom in and zoom out function which is very easy to navigate. If you are discussing a particular topic, simply zoom in your canvas with the information that you want to give emphasis.
• It is quick and easy to insert images, audio, and video. Photos can be inserted at any angle you desired. Users can zoom, rotate, resize, or edit a certain object.
• Presentations can be embedded into a webpage or blog.
• It allows user to customize their design pages by making them look like a real newspaper or a magazine article.
• Since it is a web-based software, working in any computer with internet connection and Flash is easy.
• It is compatible with almost all web browsers and modern computers.
• It contains frames which allow users to group multiple presentation media into a single presentation.

Cons

• It requires knowledge and skills in using this program since it is a newly developed software which is not widely used especially in schools. Learning the program before making a presentation is a must.
• Some people are disturbed with the zoom function and animation used within the software.
• In order to work with your presentation offline, you have to purchase Prezi Desktop which is more expensive than Microsoft Office.
• It does not allow editing the readily made templates as compared to PowerPoint in which you can change the font and color schemes in the templates.
