“…Prezi can be utilized as an effective communication means to build a bridge in conveying information between a presenter and audience. Bernhardt and Fischer (2006) point out that "the knowledge conveyed to the listeners increases when there is audience participation and the presenter's style is dynamic and engaging" (p. 317). Prezi enables educators to employ various design strategies such as induction or deduction strategies (Akgün, Babur & Albayrak, 2016), use a non-linear presentation style illustrating the relationship among slides, and seamlessly integrate visual aids into the infinitive zoomable canvas, which make a lecture more meaningful and attractive.…”

This paper aimed to investigate students' opinions about learning Prezi and their first experiences in using Prezi in Higher Education. In this exploratory, qualitative case study, a total of 13 students were chosen through a purposeful sampling method. They responded to 10 interview questions that were later analyzed by two researchers using content analysis. The results demonstrated that students' experiences in acquiring practical knowledge of Prezi and creating Prezi presentations could be categorized into four major themes: usability, usefulness, arrangement and drawbacks. Eleven sub-themes emerged from these major themes and they were identified as the following easiness, difficulty, future use, collaboration, accessibility, attractiveness, zoomable user Interface & infinite canvas, effectiveness & efficiency, customization, cost and language. This study showed that, although the price and limited language options of Prezi are the drawbacks, the innovative features of Prezi convert presentations from a boring and linear fashion into a stimulating, impressive, effective and nonlinear fashion. The study also revealed that learning and using processes of Prezi are straightforward for even students who have only used traditional presentation tools such as PowerPoint.

Making use of Information and Communication Technology resources is deemed necessary for students. With this, they need to demonstrate their competence in using various technologies such as Prezi and 1.BACKGROUND AND RATIONALEMaking use of information and communication technology (ICT) is important in presenting reports and presentations for the students to enrich their learning. Hence, they need to demonstrate their competence in using various technologies such as Prezi and PowerPoint (PPT) to communicate effectively and efficiently to their audience. With this, they can integrate multimedia platforms as tools in delivering a particular topic. Thus, their experiences in using these presentation tools is important to assist them in their needs that will consequently aid in enriching and sharpening their skills on giving reports and presentations.Microsoft's PowerPoint presentation tool allows the students to integrate multimedia features. It is not only limited to text, graphics, animations and transitions but also equip in embedding audio, videos and music for the audience to understand better the topic presented. It was shown that if PPT is used appropriately it becomes a powerful tool that will encourage students' learning [1]. In like manner, Prezi is a web-based presentation tool that also allows the users to integrate multimedia features. Its difference with PPT is it allows the presenter to magnify the text, to make the elements upside down, and the like. It was also shared that the "theory behind Prezi is that our ideas are not linear, but rather bundles of interconnected concepts that are better captured as a whole with many parts. With this, it allows the presenter to illustrate the relationship of concepts to one another" [2].

Using sophisticated technology in EFL has been a source of considerable debate. As a part of the Web 2.0 movement, Prezi lets users generate, produce, and preserve virtual demonstrations. While a substantial study has been conducted on the benefits and downsides of utilizing Prezi presentations, there is scarce research on students' experiences with using Prezi. The study aims to look at pupils' perspectives on using Prezi in learning English to fill the gap. Twenty students from a private secondary school in Mojokerto, Indonesia, were examined. This exploratory qualitative case study used a purposive sampling strategy. They answered ten interview questions, which the researchers examined using content analysis. The findings revealed that students' experiences using Prezi and making Prezi demonstrations could be divided into four primary topics: serviceability, effectiveness, design, and hindrances. Using Prezi, students experienced producing more interactive visuals for their production than standard PowerPoint slides. In line with this study, Prezi's revolutionary features transform the report from a monotonous and direct way into a fascinating, stunning, practical, and nonlinear style. The findings of this study, in practice, demand the implementation of academic tutorials for classroom teachers to construct their core principles of teaching utilizing the Prezi presentation.
