There is a huge range of apps available to help you deliver a presentation (or lecture), as this is a common task in the business world as well as in education. The apps cover everything from preparation to delivery, the downside being that as these are often aimed at the business market, they can be expensive. Here are some of the ones we&#8217;ve come across that you might find useful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating\/editing your presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/02\/Keynote.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-936\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/02\/Keynote-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/02\/Keynote-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/02\/Keynote-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/02\/Keynote.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The slickest choice for this must surely be Keynote, for iOS (Apple) devices. You can import existing presentations into the app, via email or cloud storage services like Dropbox &#8211; it will accept presentations created in Keynote (on the Mac) or Powerpoint (on a PC). You can also create a presentation from scratch, including images, tables, charts and animations. It even has an area for presenter notes. If you have an iPad 2, when connected \u00a0to a video output the presenter display will allow you to see both slide and notes, and your audience will only see the slides.<\/p>\n<p>For Android, Google docs seems sadly lacking in the absence of a presenter view for Google presentations. However, there are other options &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quickoffice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">QuickOffice<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dataviz.com\/products\/documentstogo\/android\/\" target=\"_blank\">Documents To Go<\/a> will both allow you to display Powerpoint files on your device for free. Both these apps have Pro (paid) options that will also let you create and edit presentations on the device.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delivering your presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to use your device to deliver the presentation, there are a few different options to consider.\u00a0You can connect the device directly, using a VGA or HDMI adaptor. This is the easiest option, but it does restrict your movement (which can defeat the point of using the device in the first place). Alternatively, you can connect your device to the presenting computer using wireless or bluetooth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You may want to use your device as a simple presenting tool, to control navigation through the slides. In this case, apps like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.senstic.com\/iphone\/iClickr\/iClickr.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">i-Clickr<\/a> for iOS and <a href=\"https:\/\/market.android.com\/details?id=ratisbonsoft.presenter.full\" target=\"_blank\">Presenter<\/a> for Android should do the trick.<\/li>\n<li>If you have the presentation on your device, there are also apps that will allow you to transmit it to the presenting computer.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/air-sketch\/id376617790?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">AirSketch<\/a> for the iPad will allow you to project a whiteboard, images or PDFs (so convert your presentation first), and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/max4g.com\/pitchr\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Scatterslides<\/a> for Android works in a similar way for Powerpoint slides (note this requires a free client to be installed on the presenting computer).<\/li>\n<li>If you want to get really clever, you can even use a remote desktop application to run the presentation from your own computer via your mobile device, thus avoiding any embarrassing software version problems or incompatibilities. Apps like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splashtop.com\/remote\" target=\"_blank\">Splashtop<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamviewer.com\/en\/download\/mobile.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">TeamViewer<\/a> can do this for you, as long as you have a reliable connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The downside to the wireless connection method is that these apps generally need to be on the same wireless connection as the presenting computer &#8211; and to be able to find each other on it. This works fine on wireless that uses keys to authenticate, but often won&#8217;t work on secure wireless networks that use a browser login. If you&#8217;re planning on trying any of these, we strongly recommend a test run before the day of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any comments on the information above, or you&#8217;d like to recommend other apps that help you with learning or teaching, please feel free to add a comment or to email the team at <a href=\"mailto:LTSupport@northampton.ac.uk\">LTSupport@northampton.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Disclaimer: these posts aim to recommend functionality, not particular products or services.
