So Prezi is better?

[Arzina333]

Surprising result
The students were able to remember the presented model better with the Prezi presentation, both in the short term (directly after the presentation) and in the long term (after three weeks). Another striking conclusion is that the students were more creative after the Prezi presentation. More drawing was done when asked to describe the model after the presentation. Apparently the right hemisphere of the brain (the creative brain) was stimulated more with Prezi. The attitude towards presentation and presenter that was investigated did not show any differences in the research.

Such a study is a good start, but of course there is much more to be studied. A relatively young target group has now been studied. What happens to the results if the age is varied? And what are the results if a different type of presentation is studied? And there are many more factors that can be studied.


As a Prezi evangelist, I am of course happy panama phone data with the results of this research, but don't think I'm going to shout from the rooftops that Prezi is better than PowerPoint. Not at all. Of course I am a big supporter of Prezi, but at the same time I have nothing against PowerPoint. On the contrary! I do have a problem with the way this tool is usually used. Slides with rows of bullet points and reams of text, unclear graphs and ugly graphics. And worst of all, the presenter uses his or her presentation as a cheat sheet. I won't elaborate on this, because you probably know this PowerPoint horror.

And actually, that also applies to Prezi. Because just as many bad powerpoints are made, so are many bad prezis. Do you recognize this? Prezis that go in all directions and where you as a speaker would do better to put a sick bag under every chair of your audience. And if you look at the entire prezi, it is such a chaos that no line or structure can be discovered.

Fortunately, I am not finished with my mission yet and I will continue to preach my gospel about how to use Prezi properly; with a good story.
