Then list three reasons why would prefer (or prefer NOT) to use SWAY versus PowerPoint.

Answer 1

Three main reasons to use SWAY versus Power point

1. Accessibility

SWAY can be accessed via the web or using the app on Android or iOS and is free of cost. This implies that it doesn't require any licenses to be purchased in order to access and build presentations like with Powerpoint.

2. Content

SWAY allows importing content from documents, web content and Onedrive and also builds basic presentation which can improved upon.

3. Control over sharing

SWAY allows users to control who can view the presentation by maintaining control of whom the presentation can be shared with. In Powerpoint, the author does not have control of who the presentation can be shared with as it can be shared via e-mail or through the cloud.

On the other hand some of the advantages of using Powerpoint over SWAY include

1. Designs

Powerpoint has a wide variety of designs that can be used to make the presentations look savvy while SWAY has limited design options

2. Charts & Data

When presentations need to include a lot of data analysis using charts and graphs, Powerpoint is the better option

3. Presenter

Powerpoint is the superior option to choose if a presenter has to present the presentation as it provides better control over the presentation. SWAY is the preferred option if the audience doesn't require a presenter
