This paper was again focused around a writing/ media studies class. Students usually wrote traditional essays which made shaping their work bound by the printed text and the two presenters wanted to change this approach. They chose to use Prezi to get students draft a collaborative piece of work to provide more flexibility and get students used to different media approaches.

Students were divided into two groups and were given an assignment to write which was an analytical paper and they had to use Prezi to create it. One group were able to use images, shapes, videos, and animation, and the other group, were only able to use only text, shapes, and the effects that the software provided to convey their ideas.

The presenters found that students still organised their work in a similar way to text with headings and their placement of material was similar. The text formatting was also similar with use of colour etc. However students in group one used visuals to reinforce points and provide evidence and in the second group they used boxes and arrows to reinforce points. The use of prezi had made the students writing more visual.

This was a first use of this and so for future the presenters are going to change the assessment and use the normal rubrics with some changes to assess the work.
