Genially

Principal function(s): Citation managersPoster/infographic creatorsPoll and survey creatorsQuiz/exercise makersSlide presenting

A tool that makes content more dynamic and visually appealing to the audience. One can make, for instance, presentations, infographics, guides, maps, quizzes, games, etc. Evaluation: Genially is a suitable resource for creating presentations, infographics, along with other types of content. The design is very user-friendly. Ready-made templates are available in the free version (more in the paid version). These facilitate the creation of content, but also represent a limitation in terms of creativity. Another disadvantage is that the content cannot be downloaded with the free version.

Cost: Free with registration + premium plans available
