Office Sway

Microsoft Office Sway is an extension of the Office 365 suite that allows students to create more visual and interactive presentations than the standard Powerpoint tool.  All Xavier students have access to Sway inside of Office 365.  Presentations are designed around the idea of digital storytelling, and easily incorporates images, videos, maps, tweets, charts, graphics and .gifs to create a stimulating, interactive presentation. Sway can easily adapt between different delivery platforms. This could be utilized for instructor presentations or student projects.
