- 2. 2 Participant’s Module Microsoft Sway – Learning the Basics WA MODULE DESCRIPTION If there’s one thing more intimidating than staring at a blank Word document wondering what to write, it’s staring at a blank PowerPoint presentation wondering what to add. Presentations are by their nature intended for other to view, and plenty of people are terrified of public speaking to start with, so a blank PowerPoint can be enough to make you give up then and there. This fear has always been one of the biggest problems with PowerPoint. Thankfully Microsoft has recognized this and they’ve gone to great lengths to prevent this fear. Enter Sway, which is Microsoft’s attempt to provide a lightweight, cloud only, story-telling application that is easier to use than PowerPoint and provides more narrative devices than simply slide after slide of bullet points. Most people are not specialist in design and layout, so Microsoft has provided a bunch of templates for common presentations to help you get past the creator’s block and start designing. This module entitled “Microsoft Sway – Learning the Basics” is a practical guide to learning the basic concept and tools of Microsoft Sway. Sway is a cloud-based app that brings a fresh new perspective to powerpoint making your thoughts live by quickly exploring, visualizing, and sharing your ideas to the world. It is ideal for creating reports, presentations or updates, allowing users to make visually compelling, content-rich presentations without needing any serious design skills. It is great for teachers, educators, business presenters and also for personal use. It’s a way to present information in a beautiful and dynamic way. It’s jam-packed with features to help you with the difficult design bits so you can focus on the content and best of all it’s free. Essentially Sway helps you to distribute information from wherever you like to whomever you like with ease. Microsoft Sway can be termed as the newer and friendlier alternative to PowerPoint.
