Swipe is a great CTBT tool that will make your presentations interactive and particularly effective. Swipe will increase the attention of your learners by putting your slides in the palm of your hand on their own screen and allowing them to interact.
Swipe works both in face-to-face classrooms and in the context of a conference or distance learning.
The tool makes it very easy to create a single or multiple presentation in collaborative mode. In this case, everyone will have the status of editor, allowing them to create, edit or rearrange the different slides. Each of them in a very classic way text, images or videos directly imported from YouTube or Viméo. The editor is quite simple to use and you will have no trouble quickly making a sober and efficient presentation for your next class.
For example, your presentation is shared by one click by email, but you can also insert it using a code provided by the platform on a blog or website. You can also download your creation in PDF format.
A great presentation editor, but of which the added value is elsewhere. Swipe has one or two options that make it a great tool for introducing interactivity into your presentations. You do not have to create a new presentation, you can upload an existing one in PDF format for example.
The first very interesting option offered by Swipe is the possibility to make your presentation remotely. You provide the link of your presentation to your learners. The latter by following the link will have access to the different slides but you will be able to take the hand. When you switch between slides on your screen, you will automatically switch between slides on your guests’ screen, computer, tablet or smartphone.
Another great option offered by Swipe is the possibility to include small surveys or quizzes in your presentation to allow your learners to react, to give their opinion or to test their level of understanding. Swipe will insert the questionnaire as an additional slide and display the result(s) in real time on the presenter’s screen. He/she is free to then deliver or not the results on the screens of all participants.
An excellent pro tool for the school or the wider learning world. Can be used in person in class, in front of a large assembly or remotely.
Swipe offers a free version, but limited to 2 presentations. For more intensive and unlimited use and also to have access to all options, it is necessary to count on around EUR 15 per month.
