<p>In <a href="Computing" title="Computing">computing</a>, a <b>presentation program</b> (also called <b>presentation software</b>) is a <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a> package used to display information in the form of a <a href="Slide_show" title="Slide show">slide show</a>. It has three major functions:<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<ul><li>an <a href="Text_editor" title="Text editor">editor</a> that allows text to be inserted and <a href="Formatted_text" title="Formatted text">formatted</a></li>

<li>a method for inserting and manipulating <a href="Computer_graphics" title="Computer graphics">graphic images</a> and <a href="Media_clip" title="Media clip">media clips</a></li>

<li>a slide-show system to display the content</li></ul>

<p>Presentation software can be viewed as enabling a functionally-specific category of <a href="Electronic_media" title="Electronic media">electronic media</a>, with its own distinct culture and practices as compared to traditional presentation media (such as <a href="Blackboard" title="Blackboard">blackboards</a>, <a href="Whiteboard" title="Whiteboard">whiteboards</a> and <a href="Flip_chart" title="Flip chart">flip charts</a>).

</p><p><a href="Presentation" title="Presentation">Presentations</a> in this mode of delivery have become pervasive in many aspects of <a href="Business_communication" title="Business communication">business communication</a>, especially in <a href="Business_plan" title="Business plan">business planning</a>, as well as in <a href="Academic_conference" title="Academic conference">academic-conference</a> and <a href="Professional_conference" title="Professional conference">professional conference</a> settings, and in the <a href="Knowledge_economy" title="Knowledge economy">knowledge economy</a> generally, where ideas are a primary work <a href="Output_(economics)" title="Output (economics)">output</a>. Presentations may also feature prominently in political settings, especially in <a href="Workplace_politics" title="Workplace politics">workplace politics</a>, where persuasion is a central determinant of group outcomes.

</p><p>Most modern meeting-rooms and <a href="Conference_hall" title="Conference hall">conference halls</a> are configured to include presentation electronics, such as <a href="Projector" title="Projector">projectors</a> suitable for displaying <a href="Presentation_slide" title="Presentation slide">presentation slides</a>, often driven by the presenter's own <a href="Laptop" title="Laptop">laptop</a>, under direct control of the presentation program used to develop the presentation. Often a presenter will present a lecture using the slides as a visual aid both for the presenter (to track the lecture's coverage) and for the audience (especially when an audience member mishears or misunderstands the verbal component).

</p><p>Generally in presentations, the visual material is considered supplemental to a strong aural presentation that accompanies the slide show, but in many cases, such as <a href="Statistical_graphics" title="Statistical graphics">statistical graphics</a>, it can be difficult to convey essential information other than by visual means; additionally, a well-designed <a href="Infographic" title="Infographic">infographic</a> can be extremely effective in a way that words are not. Endemic over-reliance on slides with low <a href="Information_design" title="Information design">information density</a> and with a poor accompanying lecture has given presentation software a negative reputation as sometimes functioning as a crutch for the poorly informed or the poorly prepared.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Using Autographix and <a href="Dicomed" title="Dicomed">Dicomed</a>, it became quite easy to make last-minute changes compared to traditional typesetting and pasteup. It was also a lot easier to produce a large number of slides in a small amount of time. However, these workstations also required skilled operators, and a single workstation represented an investment of $50,000 to $200,000 (in 1979 dollars).

</p><p>In the mid-1980s developments in the world of computers changed the way presentations were created. Inexpensive, specialized applications now made it possible for anyone with a PC to create professional-looking presentation graphics.

</p><p>Originally these programs were used to generate 35 mm slides, to be presented using a <a href="Slide_projector" title="Slide projector">slide projector</a>. As these programs became more common in the late 1980s several companies set up services<sup id="cite_ref-meilach19870817_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-meilach19870817-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that would accept the shows on <a href="Diskette" class="mw-redirect" title="Diskette">diskette</a> and create slides using a <a href="Film_recorder" title="Film recorder">film recorder</a> or print <a href="Transparency_(projection)" title="Transparency (projection)">transparencies</a>. In the 1990s dedicated <a href="Liquid_crystal_display" class="mw-redirect" title="Liquid crystal display">LCD</a>-based screens that could be placed on the projectors started to replace the transparencies, and by the early 2000s they had almost all been replaced by <a href="Video_projector" title="Video projector">video projectors</a>.

</p><p>The first commercial computer software specifically intended for creating WYSIWYG presentations was developed at <a href="Hewlett-Packard" title="Hewlett-Packard">Hewlett-Packard</a> in 1979 and called <a href="BRUNO_(software)" class="mw-redirect" title="BRUNO (software)">BRUNO</a> and later HP-Draw. The first microcomputer-based presentation software was Cromemco's Slidemaster, developed by <a href="John_F._Dunn" class="mw-redirect" title="John F. Dunn">John F. Dunn</a> and released by <a href="Cromemco" title="Cromemco">Cromemco</a> in 1981.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The first software displaying a presentation on a personal computer screen was <a href="VCN_ExecuVision" title="VCN ExecuVision">VCN ExecuVision</a>, developed in 1982. This program allowed users to choose from a library of images to accompany the text of their presentation. <a href="Harvard_Graphics" title="Harvard Graphics">Harvard Graphics</a> was introduced for <a href="MS-DOS" title="MS-DOS">MS-DOS</a> and <a href="IBM_Lotus_Freelance_Graphics" title="IBM Lotus Freelance Graphics">Lotus Freelance Graphics</a> was introduced for DOS and <a href="OS/2" title="OS/2">OS/2</a> in 1986. <a href="PowerPoint" class="mw-redirect" title="PowerPoint">PowerPoint</a> was introduced for the <a href="Mac_(computer)" title="Mac (computer)">Macintosh</a> computer in 1987.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The first web-based presentation program was called ThinkFree Show, it launched in 2001 as part of the <a href="ThinkFree_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="ThinkFree Office">ThinkFree Office</a> suite.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another web-based presentation program called Google Docs Presentations was introduced a few years later in 2007, it later became <a href="Google_Slides" title="Google Slides">Google Slides</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2></div>

<p>A presentation program is supposed to help both the speaker with an easier access to his ideas and the participants with visual information which complements the talk.

There are many different types of presentations including professional (work-related), education, entertainment, and for general communication. Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual-aid technology, such as <a href="Pamphlet" title="Pamphlet">pamphlets</a>, handouts, chalkboards, flip charts, posters, slides and overhead transparencies. Text, graphics, movies, and other objects are positioned on individual pages or "slides" or "foils". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the <a href="Slide_projector" title="Slide projector">slide projector</a>, a device that has become somewhat <a href="Obsolescence" title="Obsolescence">obsolete</a> due to the use of presentation software. Slides can be printed, or (more usually) displayed on-screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter. An entire presentation can be saved in video format.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The slides can also be saved as images of any <a href="Image_file_formats" class="mw-redirect" title="Image file formats">image file formats</a> for any future reference.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways, as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself. Typically a presentation has many constraints and the most important being the limited time to present consistent information.

</p><p>Many presentation programs come with pre-designed images (<a href="Clip_art" title="Clip art">clip art</a>) and/or have the ability to import graphic images. Some tools also have the ability to search and import images from <a href="Flickr" title="Flickr">Flickr</a> or <a href="Google" title="Google">Google</a> directly from the tool. Custom graphics can also be created in other programs such as <a href="Adobe_Photoshop" title="Adobe Photoshop">Adobe Photoshop</a> or <a href="GIMP" title="GIMP">GIMP</a> and then exported. The concept of <a href="Clip_art" title="Clip art">clip art</a> originated with the image library that came as a complement with <a href="VCN_ExecuVision" title="VCN ExecuVision">VCN ExecuVision</a>, beginning in 1983.

</p><p>With the growth of <a href="Digital_photography" title="Digital photography">digital photography</a> and <a href="Digital_video" title="Digital video">video</a>, many programs that handle these types of media also include presentation functions for displaying them in a similar "slide show" format, for example <a href="IPhoto" title="IPhoto">iPhoto</a>. These programs allow groups of digital photos to be displayed in a slide show with options such as selecting transitions, choosing whether or not the show stops at the end or continues to loop, and including music to accompany the photos.

</p><p>Similar to programming <a href="Software_extension" class="mw-redirect" title="Software extension">extensions</a> for an <a href="Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> or <a href="Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browser</a>, "add ons" or <a href="Plug-in_(computing)" title="Plug-in (computing)">plugins</a> for presentation programs can be used to enhance their capabilities.

</p><p>Apps can enable a smartphone to be a remote control<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for slideshow presentations, including slide previews, speaker notes, timer, stop watch, pointer, going directly to a given slide, blank screen and more. Presentation programs also offer an interactive integrated hardware element designed to engage an audience (e.g. <a href="Audience_response" title="Audience response">audience response systems</a>, <a href="Second_screen" title="Second screen">second screen</a> applications) or facilitate presentations across different geographical locations through the internet (e.g. <a href="Web_conferencing" title="Web conferencing">web conferencing</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hardware devices such as <a href="Laser_pointer" title="Laser pointer">laser pointers</a> and <a href="Interactive_whiteboard" title="Interactive whiteboard">interactive whiteboards</a> can ease the job of a live presenter .

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Programs">Programs</h3></div>

<p>As of 2007, MS <a href="PowerPoint" class="mw-redirect" title="PowerPoint">PowerPoint</a> has become the dominant presentation tool because it is both readily available and easy for instructors to use (Grabe & Grabe 2007).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It allows instructors to create and manipulate presentations in a wide variety of contexts that can enhance student’s interest and engagement (Mills & Roblyer, 2006).<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In addition, it helps instructors clearly identify the main points of a topic or activity while still providing the details through presentation (Loisel & Galer, 2004).<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Instructors can incorporate multiple types of media formats (e.g., diagram, photo, drawing, sound and video) that cannot be easily integrated together into one single medium. PowerPoint also provides graphical, transactional, aesthetic and interactive features. PowerPoint is for use in the classroom, and needs to be paired with use of an <a href="LCD_projector" title="LCD projector">LCD projector</a> and large screen.
