  1. Hello, this is Tony Burr with education 5 19 with the Uni uh Upper Iowa University
  2. and wanted to talk to you about Prey
  3. for L MS
  4. with my company at Middle Craft uh Mason City Iowa.
  5. And
  6. uh uh one of the things I was looking for was
  7. an opportunity to see a more interactive uh presentation tool.
  8. And so far I have my, my
  9. uh overall abstract, I guess of this is that
  10. uh I like it and there's still more investigation to do that.
  11. I think there's more to do.
  12. Uh I'm not real big on the web-based services on this, the saving
  13. uh and, and retrieval of the,
  14. the information sometimes can be difficult. Um
  15. And the cost itself per year, I'm not sure if it's worth it or if there is
  16. uh sources or utilized tools like with uh
  17. Microsoft powerpoint that can do the same thing,
  18. but so far so good. I like, I like the different um
  19. solutions of different interaction that it does provide.
  20. So let's get into it.
  21. So
  22. I had a problem that needed a tired solution.
  23. And so
  24. um
  25. one of the things that I had here was that
  26. uh
  27. our, we have a lot of different learning management systems.
  28. We have a lot of different courses.
  29. We have a lot of different uh charts, presentations,
  30. power points, PDF S
  31. that are very um
  32. the, the information comes from all sources.
  33. It would just be nice to have a one source area that's interactive
  34. and it can be changed and upgraded as time goes on.
  35. One of the problems that we have is
  36. as soon as it seems like we build a video or make a video that's already outdated.
  37. And so we want to make something that can be very changeable change on the fly,
  38. quickly change um with the times and it's cost effective.
  39. We have looked at different solutions.
  40. We have tried to purchase a uh different L
  41. MS licensing from other learning management systems very expensive.
  42. Um And it's kind of a one size fits all, you know,
  43. you throw a spaghetti against the wall, hopefully some of it sticks
  44. a lot of the courses we had uh that we had to purchase aren't applicable to us.
  45. Um
  46. We looked at opportunities for A I to use
  47. uh artificial intelligence programs to make training videos.
  48. Um not really at this time cost effective. So
  49. uh utilizing this, um we saw that there were some opportunities here.
  50. So we looked at presi as an option here.
  51. Um
  52. And what I like about presi so far is that there is some interaction,
  53. there is some ability to integrate
  54. embed videos, embed different, uh, you know,
  55. uh different types of slides. And I really like that opportunity there.
  56. Plus it just looks a little bit cleaner, it looks a little bit more efficient.
  57. It's set up a lot better,
  58. in my opinion than it is Power Point.
  59. So I do like that. I really do like the option of that.
  60. Um,
  61. I have yet to see a little bit more of the interaction that you could take
  62. uh an existing photo or existing thing
  63. to make it more interactive.
  64. But um so far, you know, from first glance,
  65. it's worth cons considering to go a little further out that.
  66. So
  67. um
  68. is this a gimmick or effective presentation tool?
  69. Uh You know, one of the things that I'm looking for is is that we do,
  70. what we do is build labels, identification tags, different technologies
  71. and we have a machine that we look at
  72. that builds these radio frequency identification tags. RF ID,
  73. the, the, the, the machine that builds these tags, it typically takes between
  74. 6 to 12 months to train somebody.
  75. And what we wanna try to do is we wanna try to see
  76. if we can make it a little bit shorter of a training time
  77. and more effective with interactive tools,
  78. interactive learning modules. And if, if we can do that
  79. and build those on our own, utilizing pre
  80. for example,
  81. that that would be a huge win for us that we can continually keep grooming.
  82. Um As time goes on
  83. prey
  84. has shown a lot of interaction to me.
  85. One of the things is just, you know, the slides,
  86. I'm going back and forth as you noticed there.
  87. Um I can create a lot of
  88. uh kind of interaction that you have to go and find and search
  89. uh the, the, the different types of solutions
  90. as you can see there. If I go back to just this slide deck right here
  91. or just this part here it goes
  92. to the next slide like that. And I really enjoy that.
  93. That's something that to me is a lot better
  94. in my opinion than it is for Microsoft powerpoint.
  95. So if you get into pre pre
  96. here,
  97. I, I really like that feature.
  98. Um I'm hopeful that I can take some of the interactive photos
  99. that maybe some video that we have for our machines that we have
  100. to take a look and
  101. say, you know, hey, I'd like for you to point at
  102. this and then have a button that can click on.
  103. They have to click on and say, hey, show me where the rotary die goes.
  104. Show me where this, you know,
  105. um
  106. the,
  107. where this the spindle,
  108. where should that,
  109. where should the paper go? Where should the inlay go
  110. um in your case right there. So then the ability is to have more of
  111. a,
  112. you know, click here
  113. and then get the correct solution on that.
  114. It would be awesome. I have yet to find
  115. a quiz feature in this um interaction. I'm sure there is one
  116. and I'm gonna continue to keep investigating that.
  117. One of the things I really do like is, is collaboration.
  118. I'm not gonna pretend to know everything about, you know, the converting machines,
  119. the, the the machines that put our RF ID tags together.
  120. So it would be really cool if I could get other
  121. machine operators, we call them converters, converting machines.
  122. Um If we can have other converters that could get together,
  123. take a look at my presentation and make changes as we go along.
  124. I think a lot of gets lost in translation.
  125. I think if you print stuff out, try to take a look at it. I can miss stuff.
  126. So if I could teach someone else to, to, to,
  127. hey, this is what this does,
  128. am I right here? And no, you're not. This is the change.
  129. They can just make the change as it goes along.
  130. Um, wordsmithing it, making it look good would be also a good be benefit as well.
  131. So inclusion, I've learned a lot about presi,
  132. I'm getting more and more excited about it.
  133. Um I don't really like
  134. the saving. So a lot of times when you're, you're online,
  135. I'm sure there is a desktop app that you can put on your desktop computer.
  136. Um I have not yet looked at that
  137. because I'm not sure if I want to continue to keep using this.
  138. It does have a I am on a two week free trial,
  139. but it is cost about 200
  140. some dollars a year
  141. again.
  142. But these things, I'm kind of learning as I go along.
  143. I, these are the things I've identified I want
  144. and if I can find them
  145. with uh Microsoft powerpoint, then I might just use them.
  146. However, if I can't find what I want in Microsoft powerpoint,
  147. then I will definitely consider presi
  148. as the next option there. So
  149. II I think this was a good uh use of uh trying to find the next technology.
  150. Um What it has done for me is identified. What exactly I want
  151. in a technology to help present our trainings to our, our employees.
  152. So
  153. that is our team at Metal Craft, part of our team there. So
  154. if you have any questions, uh let me know. Thanks.
