5 Reasons to use whiteboard animation videos instead of PowerPoint

PowerPoint has been popular for a long, long time. Too long we would argue…

How do you stop people sitting through dull presentations, copying down content word for word, slide for slide?

Students in a recent study said they either “always,” or “almost always” copy information from PowerPoint.

Why are we happy with passivity rather than lively interaction and debate?

As well as being too text heavy, PowerPoint oversimplifies complex ideas down to a handful of bullet points that rarely link to one another. How is this helping anyone?

Whiteboard animations on the other hand are incredibly more engaging than PowerPoint and can increase learning by 15%. They cleverly combine spoken word, visual animations and sounds to create memorable presentations that deliver impressively high engagement.
