</p><h3 class="heading-h2"><a name="TheBasics" class="anchorpoint"></a>The Basics</h3><p class="paragraph">The Presentation tool allows you to present a set of slides to many viewers. As the presenter, you can move forward and backward through the slides, and viewers (using the Join mode) will follow each move within a few seconds. Thus you can use it show a presentation within a room via a projector, or, more interestingly, you can use to do an online presentation to viewers who are only connected to you via the Internet.</p><p class="paragraph">Viewers also can switch to View mode, and navigate through the slides independently of the presenter. Viewers can switch back to Join mode to rejoin the show at any time.
</p><h3 class="heading-h2"><a name="HowtoDoIt" class="anchorpoint"></a>How to Do It</h3><p class="paragraph">Presentation folders: To create a presentation, upload a series of files into the Resource tool under the folder Presentations (case does matter). Within the Presentations folder, each sub-folder will contain a separate presentation. So an example presentation might be a series of JPEG images in the folder Presentations/week-01. Slide order is determined by a sort of the file names or file titles (if provided).</p><p class="paragraph">Join mode: This mode allows viewers to follow along as you, the presenter, move forward and backward through your presentation.</p><p class="paragraph">View mode: This mode allows viewers to move through your presentation independently.</p><p class="paragraph">Multiple presenters: Any user who has write access to the folder in Resources that contains the presentation can act as presenter.</p><p class="paragraph">Things to consider
</p><ul class="star"><li>While watching a presentation, it may take up to 10 seconds for viewers to see the new slide after the presenter advances the slide.</li>
<li>Viewers can refresh manually to see the latest slide if the automatic advance seems to be taking too long.</li>
<li>The Presentation tool can handle any web-displayable image file, including .gif, .png, and .jpg.</li></ul><p class="paragraph">
