Academic Presenter

It supports digitizer, and it is excellent for whiteboard animation and narrative storytelling. It is totally free. Also, it combines free movement and linear flow in an infinite canvas. The user can switch from non-linear flow to linear whenever it is necessary. It can combine mind map and concept map with regular slide based presentation which makes it a good choice for paper review.

It has some minor bugs (I hope in the next version, It will be resolved). The designer works only on windows. Also, I wish I could share my presentation with my colleagues through a web-based service; however the software currently is not supporting. But the developers told me that they are working on this feature.

I would suggest this software to students and professors. It is free, and developers knew what is needed for students. Although it was not designed for marketing, it has some unique features that make Academic Presenter a good choice for marketing. It is fast and tutorial videos are available to alleviate the learning difficulties.
