Abstract
The purpose of this project is to determine which presentation tool works best to deliver a clear, concise message to an audience. The tools being studied are PowerPoint, the standard, slidebased presentation tool, and Prezi, the newer, non-linear software tool. A presentation was created in Prezi using the same content and multi-media as the original PowerPoint presentation. The principles of Human Centered Design Theory were used as a guide to analyze each tool. Research was further triangulated by creating two groups and showing both presentations to each. Each group then had to answer survey questions about the presentations. Finally, using volunteers from both survey groups a focus group was formed to further discuss both presentations and their reactions to each one.
