Education relies heavily on communication, but it is not all about the words alone. Communication entails so many factors such as emotions, intent and voice. To ensure the recipient completely understands the meaning behind the message that is being presented so much more has to go into it than words. That is why Sway, a Microsoft Presentation Platform, is a perfect way to communicate.
“One of Sway’s features that stands out to us is the linear fluidity. There aren’t sections broken up by slides, content presented in pieces, or chunky transitions, which is whew love Sway for story-telling.” (Sail the 7 Cs with Microsoft Education)
Sway is a free user-friendly interface that has a simplistic and intuitive design. This platform allows users to create professional presentations, reports, newsletters and other visual content quick and easy. Sway provides a range of templates that can be used to customize user content that is suitable for any needs. Sway makes interactions more engaging by allowing users to create content using images, videos and multimedia content.
Sway includes a collaboration feature that allows multiple participants to work on the same project simultaneously. This feature targets customers such as businesses, organizations and even educational institutions. This feature of Sway makes group work more efficient and easier to connect with each other. With real-time changes everyone is up to date with new ideas.
Fun Fact; Sway can also be accessible to users with disabilities! Sway is programmed to have built-in accessibility for those with visual, auditory, and motor impairments
