Comparison Charts Part II | PowerpointInfographics. In one of our latest blogs, we talked about how you could create a simple but effective comparison chart. But there are several ways how you can display the difference between two data series. The obvious way is to create a standard bar chart with multiple series. But that does not work when you want to display a large number of data series. To really get your message accross to your audience, you need some more sophisticated visualisations. So we createdthis second tutorial, where we have created five more additionalcharts. Eachonecanbefreelyeditedandchanged. Every single oneusesonly standard powerpointcharts (no add ins wereused).

Chart 1. Is a standard stacked bar chart, with 4 data series that calculate the delta (difference) between two years. The series have been filledwithcustomshapestocreate the illusion of arrows. Chart 2. Also a standard stacked bar chart, with the same formula logic as Chart 1. Chart 3. Chart 4. Chart 5. You can download the sample file here. Cheers! PReZI Vs Powerpoint : quelques points de précision ! PReZI se présente aujourd'hui comme une alternative à Powerpoint et l'on rencontre de plus en plus d'utilisateurs conquis ! Tant mieux, cela permet de sortir des sentiers battus et de la pensée Powerpoint que l'on nous inflige depuis un certain temps lors des présentations orales !

PReZI c'est : Application flash en ligne (gratuite ou payante selon les options de stockage) PReZI nécessite une connexion à Internet Pas de système de diapositives (un espace comme une immense toile où l'on place les différents éléments) Effets basés sur un système de zoom et de mouvements circulaires ou linéaires pour mettre en relief un contenu spécifique Intégration de textes, images, vidéos, liens Un PReZI est public par défaut (il faut s'abonner pour faire un PReZI privé) Interface uniquement en anglais Tout cela parait attrayant, pourtant, pour avoir assisté à plusieurs présentations réalisées avec cet outil, je suis restée assez perplexe (je l'avoue). Articles complémentaires : Prezi vs Powerpoint « Classroom201X. Best way to give a spectacular presentation? This was the first post I wrote about Prezi and it has remained popular.

I’ve also written a post asking for suggestions using the tool, which you can find here. If you want to see some example Prezis I have embedded them into these posts: creativity, planning, any ideas? Flavour of the month (well, year) in terms of presentations, has been Prezi – an online presentation tool being held up as a being something that you can use to end the infamous “Death by Powerpoint”. I’ve seen loads of them online, and a few around the college where I work – so I thought I ought to give it a go – my attempts are here on this blog (last three entries). Having had a go, I thought I ought to add my (now slightly better-informed) thoughts to the debate. Text or Graphics? I think that the key thing to remember is that these are very much different tools, and they have different strengths and weaknesses.

Non-linear approaches Over to you…. Further Reading Discussion. PowerPoint Killer Prezi Launches New Interface. Prezi, a popular alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint and other presentation applications, launched a new version of its interface today. The company, which is advised by Jack Dorsey, also announced that it has passed the 15 million user milestone. For those not familiar, Prezi uses a map-like metaphor for creating presentations instead of a slideshow metaphor. This makes it possible to create non-linear presentations, or presentations that use spatial metaphors for organizing ideas, like mind maps. The new UI took a second to get used to, but I think it will be easier for new users to get started. The web version of Prezi is free, but if you want the desktop version or certain other features you’ll have to shell out for the Pro account, which costs $159 a year. The company was co-founded by Hungarian architect/artist/designer Adam Somlai-Fischer, who had been using custom code for giving Prezi-style presentations for years before starting the company.

Prezi versus PowerPoint. Last month I gave a talk at the CASE District 8 conference in Portland on 10 things you can do with video on the internet. Probably what generated more comments and questions than my topic was that I was not using PowerPoint slides. I think I was the only one at the conference NOT using PowerPoint as it has become the de facto professional presentation format. I’ve been using PowerPoint for more than a decade, what could possibly replace it? There has been a gradual backlash against PowerPoint and I’ve recently seen speakers use online wiki’s, their web sites or nothing at all. I experimented with a new format called Prezi. Prezi is a radical departure from the traditional slide show paradigm in that it is not linear. Think of the presentation area as a big blackboard or giant sheet of paper where you have been scribbling your thoughts and ideas as if you were just jotting notes down on a sheet of paper at your kitchen table.

Why did I use it? Prezi versus Powerpoint: le match.

Comparison chart – PowerPoint and Prezi. When Prezi first arrived, there was a lot of debate about whether it was better or worse than PowerPoint. That’s like arguing over whether a barbecue grill is better than a toaster oven; they both have strengths and limitations. The answer to which is better is situational; it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

During the initial excitement phase, many people sounded like they were ready throw out PowerPoint with the bath water. Detractors on the other end of the spectrum wrote off Prezi too early, before it had a chance to expand its feature set and support pages. Now, cooler heads have begun to prevail. If you are considering which tool to use for your next presentation, it might be helpful to see how the features of these two compare.
