By using interactive resources, you’ll be able to distribute information in different levels, making it easier to understand. On top of that, interactivity allows your audience to assimilate the ideas you want to convey in an intuitive way and with no effort on their part. Genially lets you add different types of interactivity very easily, with just a few clicks. That way, using interactivity and animation to create surprising content is super easy with Genially. And since people remember positive experiences better, you’ll get awesome results with little effort.

To create an interactive image ... you can use a photo or illustration as a base. The important thing is that it’s visually attractive so that it gets your audience’s attention. Although you shouldn’t overuse bullet points, icons and diagrams can be your best allies when telling stories. You’ll hold the attention of your audience and the information will be imprinted in their brains.

Storytelling is the art of telling stories. People have a natural predisposition to consume them. Did you know that ⅔ of our daily conversations are stories? We remember stories up to 20 times more than any other type of content. According to neuroscience, when we listen to a story, our brain lights up like a Christmas tree. Stories stimulate the same cerebral areas that are activated by reading, and on top of that, activate our auditory, visual, sensory, motor, and even olfactory cortices. We hear information, but we feel stories. This emotion is what maximizesconcept retention.

With this feature ... You can add additional content that will excite your audience’s brains: videos, images, links, interactivity ... Whatever you like! Did you know? Windows allow you to add more extensive content. You can enrich your genially by including PDFs, videos, text ... The window content will appear when you click on the interactive element.

Our brains are hardwired to consume visual content. Some facts: we receive 90% of the information we process through sight and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That’s why visual communication ismore effective. We generally grasp visual content better. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. We receive things through our eyes; the first image is what counts. We associate visual content with emotions.

Have you ever thought about what makes a content created in Genially stand out from the rest? Without a doubt, interactivity and animation are the two main reasons. This is how you will get your audience's attention, by showing the most important information first and getting their attention with interactive and animated elements. Yep, you read that right. Interactivity and animation can turn even the most boring content into something super fun. In Genially, we use AI (Awesome interactivity) in all our designs so that you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that engages andprovides value.

Genially's interactivity feature allows you to organize the content in different layers so that your audience can explore it. This is the main reason why Genially content engages and motivates easily. What’s more, you avoid cluttering your content with too much information. Animation gives you amazing results without coding. You can bring the elements of your creation to life in just a few clicks - no one can ignore content that moves!

Could it be said that images are the key to success? Pretty much. This is because visual language facilitates the rapid acquisition of knowledge in an intuitive way. Convince 67% of the audience. Use this space to caption your visual content. You can upload an image from your computer or use the resources available in Genially, on the left side of the Editor. Knock their socks off!

Showing enthusiasm, smiling, and maintaining eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when it comes to telling stories that excite and capture the audience's interest: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. This will help you connect with your audience. Knock their socks off! Visual communication is a key tool. We find it easier to ‘read’ images than to read a written text. Disciplines such as ‘Visual Thinking’ facilitate the taking of visually rich notes through the use of images, graphs, infographics, and simple drawings.

Did you know? that 90% of the information we assimilate is received through sight? Visual resources are a huge help for reinforcing your message: images, illustrations, gifs, videos ... Not only because they stay in our memories, but because they’re more attractive and easier to understand. Convince 67% of the audience. This is because visual language facilitates the rapid acquisition of knowledge in an intuitive way. Could it be said that images are the key to success? Pretty much.

Our brain unconsciously processes about 11 million units of visual information per second, while it only processes about 50 units of conscious information per second.

90% of the information we assimilate is received through sight.

When giving a presentation, you need to go after two main objectives: to convey information and avoid yawns. To do this, it can be good practice to make an outline and use words that will be imprinted in the memories of your audience. If you want to add additional information or develop the content in detail, you can do this with your verbal presentation. We recommend training your voice and rehearsing; the best improvisation happens when you’re prepared!

Add music, audio, or sound effects to the elements of your genially … It makes all the difference!
