If you're an academic, researcher, or evaluator then chances are you have to do more than create presentations.

▶️ Social media graphics/videos/gifs.
😩 But you're busy. So how do you do all that without it taking forever? 😩

    Just a helpful reminder. The tips and tricks for dealing with procrastination are excellent for neurotypicals but not so much for the neuro-divergent folk. If you are neuro-divergent and need advice on this or related topics I would seek out RUclips channels specifically focused on or devoted to the neuro-divergent population.

    As for prezi: even though I really like the zooming in and out of prezis, I totally hated the tool from the very first prezi I saw. I can‘t even tell why - but I never saw an actually „good“ prezi though I kept looking out for good ones. There was a time when I thought: All the other fools are only stupid and can’t use the tool correctly - but I failed as badly as they did. The zoom effect actually has potential for showing hidden details placed where they belong but - as I said… none of the prezis I saw did that in an attractive meaningful way.

    Awww… sorry to hear (and glad, in a way because it simply IS what I use) there‘s nothing better than PowerPoint. Recently, for visualization purposes for my weaker students, I tried to do an animation to show what an average is. It was supposed to show a bar chart, then draw a line at the value of the average of the 5 bars, then cut off what‘s above the average and distribute it in the gaps below the average line. (Was that description too confusing to illustrate what I tried?). PowerPoint failed so horribly in this task (or I did - I dunno!) that I‘m looking for an alternative for simple math visualizations since then. Whenever you try to move an object, there‘s no way to tell where exactly the object will be placed at the end of your animation path. I couldn‘t tell if I had to end the animation arrow at the middle of the object, at the upper or the bottom end. Whatever I tried placed the object in an „off“ position at the end. Is there anybody out there who can recommend a graph tool for making such illustrations with a bit of movement - and without huge efforts?
