Prezi
Prezi is a cloud based application to create and show presentations. It is a functionally attractive alternative for powerpoint. Prezi (pronounced as prezzi) presentations are stored in the cloud, i.e. on the Prezi website. This means you must be connected to the internet to show a presentation, although the more expensive licenses allow for offline presentations as well (Prezi Desktop). With the standard public license all of your presentations are visible for the world
Example presentations, user manuals, and instruction videos are available online.
Edu Enjoy license
For teachers and students an extended license is available for free, the so called “Edu Enjoy” license. Your mail address is used to check if you belong to an educational organisation, so use an RU address which ends in “ru.nl” (e.g. “science.ru.nl” or “fnwi.ru.nl”) to qualify for an Edu license. The registration process itself is straightforward.
Warning: It is possible that the verification email is put into the “spam” folder.
Advantages of the Edu Enjoy license as compared to Public:
- PRIVATE presentations (choose who to share with)
- Use your own logo (Get rid of the Prezi logo)
- 500MB storage space instead of 100MB
Compared to the regular Enjoy license the Edu Enjoy license does not offer Premium (e-mail helpdesk) support.
