Quick Answer: Prezi turns the presentation you already have into four more ways to learn from it: a quiz or self-test drafted from your slide content, flashcards for quick review, a narrated video, and a podcast. You teach from one presentation, and afterward the same shareable link opens whichever format each person needs, with nothing to record or script separately. Instructors and trainers use it so a single lecture or training keeps working after the session ends.
For most instructors, a presentation has one life. It gets delivered live, start to finish, and then it sits in a folder. That's a poor fit for how people actually review material. A student wants flashcards the night before an exam, and a new hire wants to work through onboarding on their own schedule. Making each of those by hand turns one piece of material into several separate projects.
Prezi starts from the presentation you already teach. Bring your slides, or describe the class in a sentence, and the same page you present from becomes a quiz, flashcards, a narrated video, and a podcast. The presentation is where it starts, not where it ends.
Why One Presentation Should Work in More Than One Format
- Different moments need different formats. A live session suits the lecture. Ten minutes of review before a test calls for flashcards, and a commute calls for audio.
- Rebuilding per format is the real cost. Writing quiz questions and scripting narration for material you've already taught doubles the work.
- People who weren't there need more than the slides. A student or new hire who missed the session needs something that teaches without a presenter in front of them.
What Your Presentation Becomes
- Quiz and self-test: During the session, the quiz is a live check for understanding, and results by question show which concepts landed. Afterward, the self-test lets students check themselves as many times as they need.
- Flashcards: The key concepts from your slides, drafted as cards for quick review.
- Narrated video: Your presentation with voiceover, for anyone who missed the session or wants to rewatch a section.
- Podcast: An audio version of the presentation for review without a screen.
Everything opens from one shareable link. What students open afterward is the same page you taught from.
Who This Helps
Professors and instructors can turn one lecture into a study kit. Teach from the presentation in class, and students get flashcards and a self-test for exam prep, plus a narrated video if they missed the lecture. Missing class shouldn't mean missing the lesson.
Corporate trainers can run onboarding or compliance training live once, then let each new cohort work through the same page on their own, quiz included. SCORM export sends completion data to your LMS, so stakeholders get proof, not completion percentages.
Webinar hosts can send people who missed the live session a narrated video or podcast of the same material, which does far more than a slide file that needed someone to explain it.
Sales and consulting teams can turn a pitch deck into a leave-behind that still makes the case when they're not in the room. A prospect can rewatch the narrated video after the meeting, or listen to the podcast version before the follow-up call.
How It Works
- Bring your material, or describe the class. Import slides from PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, Word, or PDF. No slides yet? Describe what you're covering in a sentence and Prezi drafts the presentation.
- Teach it live. Students join from one QR code, with no app and no login, and the quiz runs inside the presentation.
- Share the link afterward. The same page opens as flashcards, a self-test, a narrated video, or a podcast, depending on what each person needs.
- See what landed. Results by question show which concepts need another pass next time.
The Bottom Line
You could make each of these formats in a separate tool. With Prezi, they come from the presentation you already taught, so the lecture you gave in September is still teaching in November. The session ends. The learning doesn't.
