Presentations made simple

It has been proven in numerous studies that audience participation aids learning. You only have to look at the way that teaching has evolved over the last 50 years to realise that humans learn and remember new things more easily if they are an involved participant rather than a passive listener. No longer do schools and universities simply talk to students. Instead, they involve them and create opportunities to interact, making the lesson or lecture engaging and therefore memorable. And now that everyone has a smartphone, the potential to use a presentation app has never been greater.

Glisser is an interactive presentation software solution that uses the technology in everybody’s pockets (and often in their hands) to enable audience participation. It allows teachers, lecturers and presenters to share their content with participants, and collect information and feedback from them. So not only is it a presentation app, but also a feedback app and a survey app.

You can import your documents easily - using the standard presentation software you are comfortable with - PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. You can actually share all sorts of documents if you save them as PDF files. Whatever you choose, our software optimises your slides for the best view in the audience presentation app.

Using the software you are used to, you can create colourful, attractive designs using their standard templates and themes, Then just import them into Glisser for use in the presentation app. All of your work is stored on our secure servers, accessible wherever you need to present. Once there, it’s easy to modify. Just drag and drop new slides to re-order presentation, or delete slides you no longer want. You can also drag and drop video files, or interact polls in a variety of formats. Then you can switch on other audience interaction elements, such as live Q&A; or a Twitter feed. Plus there are a range of presentation app settings to determine whether your audience can download your slides, or take personal notes via their smartphones.

The Glisser presentation app is easy to present with. Simply fire up the ‘present’ view and your audience access code will be displayed on the main screen. Then you can advance through the slides with a keystroke (using the same buttons as regular PowerPoint), or with a normal presentation clicker.

By live-sharing the slides, you eliminate the need for printed handouts to help your audience follow the message. Plus, with a presentation app, you save on printing costs, and help keep a few trees alive!

Glisser is regarded as one of the most useful and accessible ways to create and present visual information to an audience, and to create high engagement levels through a presentation app. Within a year of its launch, Glisser was named Best New Technology Product at the Event Technology Awards. Glisser was also the only UK company to make the Final 5 Finalists of ‘Event Technology of the Year’ - an important award from the creators of Event Manager Blog - possibly the most highly regarded event blog in the world.
