Unit V: Presentation Software

Presentation Software is an application that helps the


listener to visualize a certain topic in a more digital manner.
Likewise, it allows the presenter or speaker to infuse some
creativity into the presentation in such a way as to insert
multimedia, audio, symbols, clip art and so on, that can help
relay the message in a more organized format. According to
techopedia.com (What is Presentation Software”, n.d.), the
Presentation Software can be divided into business
presentation software and general multimedia authoring
software. This means that the use of the Presentation
Software is very flexible that is, can be used in a more
professional type of presentation or simply to create
multimedia presentation.
