Presentation program which allows users who have a Microsoft account to combine text and media to create a presentable website.

Recommended by our Digital Champions:
Microsoft SWAY is an easy-to-use presentation tool for media rich presentations. I find it useful for the Digital Media students for developing presentations with numerous forms of media and also showcasing their work. SWAY can also be used to create a media rich online brochure containing links too videos, soundfiles etc.
