Multimedia Presentations

Multimedia presentations are being used in classrooms, boardrooms, and public venues more and more these days. From kindergarten to courtrooms, presentations are getting the message across. With the addition of multimedia sound and easily transported multimedia projectors it is possible to take a presentation anywhere.

The benefits of a multimedia presentation vary greatly on whether you have created the presentation yourself or are using a presentation already completed. Consideration should be made for the technology that will be available at the site of your presentation. If you have large files with images, sounds, and video clips and your computer can't handle it you might have the computer slow or even freeze. A back up plan should always be prepared in case of 'technical difficulties.'

Check out the multimedia projector well before hand to work out any glitches and to make sure any links or slides within the presentation work as you have planned. The pros of a multimedia presentation are outlined below:

  • Allows for readers and listeners to gather information as their learning capacities dictate.
  • Allow for notes to be taken verbatim.
  • Allow for those who are hard of hearing to follow along.
  • Allow for those who have poor eyesight to follow along.
  • Allow for use of dynamic charts, graphics, and other art.
  • Powerful visual and audio capabilities.
  • Multimedia presentation options can be emailed or otherwise made available online.

A multimedia presentation can help to educate, inform, improve retention, or convince audiences and has been used in distance learning, courtrooms, and many other venues that are conducive to the use of projectors or computers.

Another benefit is the ability to put a presentation on a CD and use in place of traditional brochures, catalogs, and marketing literature. This is just catching on in the marketing world and the use of mini-CDs has increased the viability of such techniques. Calling cards, business cards, and direct mail have started to incorporate the use of presentations and have found great success with customers, clients, and distributors alike. The benefits are:

  • Act as interactive, navigatable, brochures
  • Handy presentation material for sales personnel
  • Impressive mode of presentation products
  • Easy storage compared to catalogs
  • Faster printing time then catalogs or brochures
  • Updating is easier
  • Durable unlimited storage and usage capabilities
