DigitalPresentationResources
An ePoster is an electronic version of the traditional boards and allows the inclusion of movies, sounds and other multi-media formats. Your ePoster will be displayed on monitor screens as an interactive mini-website for you to display and present your research. Posters can be designed in Powerpoint, InDesign, Canva, or Prezi. For examples and suggestions on design see the links below:
• Prezi Interactive Presentation Interface, (free with an academic email)
• Example of a Academic Prezi Poster Presentation
• A helpful guide to creating an electronic poster (please note, students are welcome to use any format and we do not require specific sizes for PowerPoint or pdf posters.)
