Emaze is a new online tool for create slides and presentations for your courses or trainings.
Launching this kind of tool nowadays is a big bet as the sector is already occupied by juggernauts such as the historical PowerPoint or the very fashionable Prezi. I invite you, however, to test Emaze, the latter does not lack arguments.
Emaze allows create and also store presentations online. Very easy to use, it produces slides and presentations in html5 that can be used on all platforms and media. Still in the beta phase, the service is free. You can register in seconds with your email address and access your personal dashboard. A dashboard that offers four options. View your presentations, create a new one, access shared presentations and finally browse slides created by other users.
The latter menu is a good starting point, slides created by other users can be a good source of inspiration. Emaze provides you in any way six beautiful templates or templates to get started. These templates are also highly configurable with different themes and colors for better customization.
It's up to you. You can add to each slide the following: Text of course and in different formats, images from your computer or directly from the web, various shapes and videos from YouTube. The use is very intuitive. Everything is done by drag and drop, and each added item can be edited from a specific menu.
Once finished, you can view your presentation and save it to Emaze. You can always then come back to edit it, add elements or corrections. Each presentation created with Emaze can be shared by email or on social networks. You can also insert it using a code provided to a website or blog. Finally, you can also download your presentation as an Unzip folder where you can launch it from an HTML file for offline consultation.
I told you, Emaze does not lack arguments to make a small place in the sun of CTBT solutions available to create slides and presentations online. If you take the time to test it, feel free to share your impressions in the comments.
