Are you tired of predictable PowerPoint presentations seeping into meetings? Especially those with added sound and image effects. Save your office from boredom and convince your colleagues to start using Microsoft’s Sway.

Office Sway is a presentation program and part of the Microsoft Office family of products.  Microsoft markets it as a “digital storytelling app”. On a practical level the software can be utilised to create presentations, reports, newsletters, etc.

Apart from adding your static content, Sway allows you to add interactive content such as videos and charts. You also don’t have to worry about formatting or design – Sway does it for you. Users can pull content locally from the device in use, or from internet sources such as Bing, OneDrive, YouTube, and Facebook. Additionally it suggests relevant images, videos and tweets you might want to add to your presentation.

Sway is available as a downloadable app for Windows 10, iPhone and iPad or as part of the Office online package. Keep in mind that Windows 10 is not yet used on campus PCs, but you can install it on your home PC.

Is jy moeg vir voorspelbare PowerPoint-aanbiedings wat steeds in vergaderings insypel? Veral dié met klank en grafiese effekte. Red jou kantoor van verveling en oortuig jou kollegas om Microsoft Sway te gebruik. 

Office Sway is `n program vir die saamstel van aanbiedings en deel van die Microsoft Office familie. Microsoft bemark dit as `n toepassing om digitaal stories mee te vertel. Op `n basiese vlak is dit sagteware wat gebruik kan word vir die skep van aanbiedings, verslae, nuusbriewe, ens. 

Buiten statiese inhoud, laat Sway jou toe om interaktiewe inhoud soos videos en tabelle te inkorporeer. Jy hoef nie bekommerd te wees oor jou formaterings- of ontwerpvaardighede nie – Sway doen dit vir jou. Gebruikers kan inhoud byvoeg vanaf hul eie toestel of  internetbronne soos Bing, OneDrive, YouTube en Facebook. Dit gee ook voorstelle vir relevante twiets, grafika en videos wat jy dalk by jou aanbieding sou sou kon byvoeg.

Sway is beskikbaar as `n aflaaibare toepassing vir Windows 10, iPhone en iPad of as deel van die Office aanlyn pakket. Hou in gedagte dat Windows 10 nog nie op kampusrekenaars gebruik word nie, maar dat jy dit wel op jou tuisrekenaar kan installeer.
