Presentations

=Presentation Wikis = 

Why PowerPoint? OK, so a wiki does not have animated slides, but I ahave other options! If I need animated text, I will use a movie - easy to do, and the benefit is that I can record my lecture and synchronise it with the slides. A wiki has the same multimedia functionality as PowerPoint, you can use animated gifs, movies, sound files etc in the same way as you would in a PowerPoint.

So  what are the bonusses? I am sure that you can think of many more than I can, but immediately it is the sharing that springs to mind.

Then th  ere is the effortless embedding of the multimedia resources. What you could get is a presentation with narration, slides, movies, weblinks that is fully editable whenever you wish to edit it.

Does that stretch the imagination beyond PowerPoint?

And then when you ask for reflection, feedback, discssion - it has that built in capacity which turns from a presentation into an interactive resource. So what do you think?
