Task Discussion

Sara Oremland said:

Just curious: seems like people who use Prezi will have an advantage to people who submit a slideshow since with Prezi you can record your voice. How can these two formats be fairly judged against each other?

Hi, That is really interesting. I've never used Prezi so didn't know there was a qualitative difference. I am not sure what instructions will be given to the judges, but I would think that they are expected to judge the presentations as if they are silent. The only thing with voice should be the pitch. Teams should expect that the most important thing they submit is the pitch. Expect the judges to look at the presentation as the pitch is being made--the two really should go together. -Margaret

Greetings Technovation Community,

Voice recordings will not be judged in the either PowerPoint or Prezi. The presentation is used to supplement the pitch. For example, a judge could refer to the presentation if something was unclear in the video pitch.

Can we use Prezi or SlideRocket instead of SlideShare? Both Prezi and SlideRocket presentations can be shared with a link.

Hi everyone!

So we are working on having Prezi and sliderocket be supported formats during submissions. We are doing our very best on making this happen, but cannot guarantee it since it is still in development. I will keep everyone posted as to which formats will be supported as soon as I know.

Stay tuned!

I would REALLY like to advocate for Prezi submissions being supported. My team thinks PowerPoints are old and dull - it's not exciting for them. They already built something in Prezi are love it.

I think Prezi can just make a Public URL where anyone in the world could view the presentation. In this way, anyone reviewing the submissions with a web browser could see it. Wouldn't that work?

hoping for good news here!

Hi Katie,

Thanks for the feedback! I know, a lot of students prefer prezi, and so we are literally building it into the submission website since it's not currently supported. So we're working on it! I just don't want to promise you something and then for some reason it doesn't work out.

We should know soon, so hang in there, and I will let you know as soon as I get confirmation that prezis are supported.

Thanks for your patience everyone,

Tahani

Hi everyone,

Good news, we can now accept presentations in slideshare AND prezi! The system cannot accept sliderocket though.

So for all those who prefer to use prezi, go fot it!

Thanks for your patience everyone,
