As mentioned, the interactive features of PresenterNet allow the embedding of interactive sliders, called Interactors which appear also as selectors and voting buttons in any slide that allow each individual viewer to provide a unique response to the material viewed. All of the feedback information provided back to PresenterNet via the interactive components is safely stored in a database.
PresenterNet InterActors can be selectively added to any PowerPoint slide for capturing and storing data entry, responses and requests by the presentation viewers.
Results can be easily viewed by the presenter directly online:
Companies that must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will value PresenterNet's archiving capabilities. The archiving feature saves presentations exactly as presented as they can't be changed thereby providing a permanent record of the presentation, who presented, who attended and the date and time of the presentation.
To get started, a new user registers for an online account and uploads the presentation content. Attendees receive an email invitation with a link taking them to their pre-assigned conference room where they enter a passkey and their names. Attendees may also be invited to dial a conference bridge number for listening to the presentation. For US-based attendees there is no cost to use this audio conferencing service.
PresenterNet integrates also a real-time live annotation and mark-up facility allowing both one-to-many and many-to-many live interaction. The live annotation tool, called InterScribe, allows full annotation of any slide being presented by the moderator, who, if desired, can allow also participants to use it simultaneously.
Presenters control all presentation functions during the presentation. They can show slides in their set order, or pick specific slides to display, by simply clicking on them in their miniature preview list strip. Individual slides can be easily added to a presentation by searching, and selecting other slides from your own PresenterNet online library.
Here is also a preview of the dashboard of controls that the presenter/moderator has at his disposal in PresenterNet: email sends invitations to presentation, S launches Skype, screen launches presentation, printer prints slides, paper displays InterActor report, lock locks or unlocks room to control whether or not more people can come in and the last icon resets the room.
Every PresenterNet account comes with Showroom, a facility which helps users interact with others who want to preview information privately or anonymously without attending a living presentation.
Visitors going to a Showroom can view a presentation on-demand. PresenterNet account owners get a unique link to their Showroom so that they can easily share and promote the link to their Showrooms on their own Web sites, blogs, marketing and promotional materials.
A Showroom presentation can contain a PowerPoint file, PresenterNet's Interactive PowerSlides, slides from MS Word or Excel and Adobe PDF documents. Users can add InterActors to Showroom content, limit the number of viewers to the Showroom and restrict the printing of slides to protect their content.
