Microsoft Sway

What do you like best?

We currently use Sway to distribute educational presentations to our staff. It is great for being able to distribute a link and have staff view at their convenience, as well as review as needed. The ability to add in links and videos is great. In some ways this feels like a new version of the software Prezi. I also like that you can see how many people have viewed the Sway, as well as how long they spend viewing the Sway.

What do you dislike?

The design of Sway is not particularly intuitive, especially for colleagues less comfortable getting to know new software. When using it the first few times, it was not obvious how to utilize the application. However it does have benefits once you have a better understanding of the application and how to use the features.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The main problems are that some colleagues do not particularly enjoy learning this way, and we are mainly using for education boosts at this time. However, I do see the benefits for using Sway as staff become more comfortable with it.
