1. Presentations: Captivate Your Learners With Prezi

The human brain is naturally programmed to process some information faster than others. At a time when information is directly accessible on our smartphones and other tablets, the trainer must redouble his efforts to capture and maintain the attention of his audience.

An excellent alternative to PowerPoint, Prezi [1] is the ideal tool to easily create original and captivating presentations.

The ability to insert dynamic zoom and zoom out effects is one of Prezi's most notable features!

2. Interactivity: ThingLink Focuses On Interactive Learning

Interactivity is one of the very foundations of any well-thought-out digital training strategy, and there are two software programs will allow you to skillfully enjoy its benefits: ThingLink is one of them.

Based on the use of insertion points, ThingLink [2] offers the opportunity to enrich an image by adding any type of multimedia content. Video, text, quizzes, sound: the possibilities offered by the tool are endless. All the user has to do is click on the location of the tag to see the additional content appear - an effective solution to perfectly exploit the potential of your visuals!

3. Interactive Videos: Share Them With Adways

Adways [3] allows you to make any video interactive. Some of the most popular features of the tool include chaptering, jump-to, integration of pulsars, text, images, and even PDFs. One of the major advantages of Adways is the ease of sharing, as interactive video can be easily integrated into any website or quickly distributed on social networks.
