Presentation

Slide show

At the heart of the XLeap Presentation workspace is its slide show.

Presenters upload PDF documents, graphic files (jpg, jpeg, png, svg) or videos (mp4) they want to present. Slides can be selected or rearranged by their thumbnails.

Flexible controls

Control of the presentation usually lies with the appointed Presenter but can be delegated to all participants for independent browsing.

XLeap Presentation performs well for large groups, even over slow Internet connections.

Feedback channel

Traditional online presentations are usually run with muted participant microphones. This can come across - even with the best presenters - as 'shut up and listen'. There are many surveys that indicate that during such presentations, many participants engage in parallel activities, such as making coffee or plowing through their email and thus missing key messages.

Instead of turning people off, XLeap presentations invite the audience to engage and participate via its easy-to-use yet sophisticated feedback channel. The feedback channel offers the interactivity and functionality of an XLeap Discussion workspace.

Anonymity. Feedback contributions are usually anonymous, but can be tagged with a 'team' name or show the name of the contributor. With anonymity, feedback will be honest and to the point.

Structure. Feedback can apply to the presentation as a whole or be structured as separate discussions per slide.

Hosts can request comments on aspects which need to be covered by providing suitable 'prompts'.
Participants mark up slides or comments with sticky dots.

Via the feedback channel, presenters see directly where their presentation has delivered its message, and where and what they need to clarify. Presenters can choose to either pause at the end each slide to reply to specific comments in the discussion, or to review and respond to comments after the presentation. Alternatively, they can have members of their team answer questions and provide additional information in real time.

Participant giving feedback

Filtering of views. For advanced use cases, participants can be restricted to see only their own feedback or the feedback of their ‘team’ before the Host lets them view all contributions.

Set the scene

A 'classic' use of the Presentation workspace is to 'set the scene' for the collaborative meeting or a specific sequence of collaborative tasks. Presenters can, for example, communicate privileged information ahead of the group brainstorming solutions or before assessing matters in the Rating workspace.

Share in advance

Some presentations via XLeap are designed to become hybrid: The presentation is shared for comment ahead of the actual session, and asks for advance feedback.

Then, in the shared (same time) session, the presenter can focus on open questions and contentious issues to get more across, with fewer misunderstandings, much faster.

Automatic documentation

Like all XLeap workspaces, the Presentation workspace is self-documenting.

The slides of the presentation and the feedback discussions are, by default, included in the Word Report which can be created instantly by the Host.

The content of the feedback channel can, of course, be exported and downloaded in .txt and Excel format.
