\"Presi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For March\u2019s app review we would like to introduce a presentation and storytelling software called Prezi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Prezi?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Prezi is a cloud-based service for presenting ideas from a virtual canvas. Cloud-based means that it lives on a server on the internet rather than on your computer.<\/p>\n

Prezi allows individuals or groups to work online to create \u2018Prezis\u2019 using a mix of text, graphic and multimedia content \u2018framed\u2019 onto to a scalable 3D canvas.<\/p>\n

The interface includes a zoom function which allows users to navigate through frames on the canvas which display using a variation of angles and levels of magnification.<\/p>\n

See the following ‘What is Prezi?’\u00a0presentation<\/a>\u00a0to view an example of Prezi and learn more about how it works.<\/p>\n

Is it free?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you have an email address at an educational institution, for example yourname@sussex.ac.uk<\/a> then you can upgrade to a second level \u2018Edu Enjoy<\/a>\u2019 account for free.<\/p>\n

This will allow access to premium support services, 500mb of cloud storage space, the option to replace the Prezi logo with your own and to make your presentations private.<\/p>\n

Will it work on my device?<\/b><\/h3>\n

As Prezi is a cloud-based service it will work online from any computer or mobile device using a modern web-browser. A mobile app version which works both online and offline is also available for Android<\/a>, iPhone<\/a> and iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presentations can be displayed onto a big screen by pairing your Android device with Chromecast or Apple device with Apple TV. \u00a0You can also present remotely<\/a> from your device to a presentation computer or a combination of 30 devices and computers at a time, as well as presenting in the normal way through your web browser.<\/p>\n
