Presentations

At London Met University you have free access to Microsoft PowerPoint and Sway.  

  • PowerPoint is the well-known tool to create presentations using slides.  Even though it's well-known, many people don't know how to get the best out of it!  
  • Sway has more of a story-telling approach and can be used to create interactive presentations, including those that don't need a presenter.  For a great example why not take a look at the online exhibitions from the Trade Union Congress Library, made using Sway.

To access:

  • Go to: office.com, sign in with your university email address and password, click the app launcher (9 dots in the top left hand corner) and select Sway or PowerPoint.  This will enable you to use them online and save your work to your online Microsoft university account (OneDrive).  
  • If you prefer to use the desktop version of PowerPoint, simply click 'Install and more' on the first page of Office.com.  This will enable you to download PowerPoint to your own computer.
