UCL Learning Portfolio

Sway allows you to create media rich presentations which can easily be shared online and viewed by any device. As well as presentations Sway can be used to create reports, personal stories, newsletters, brochures, classroom materials, event agendas etc. It is possible to embed web-based content such as tweets, interactive maps, videos, sound clouds, documents, OneDrive content and more. Most design decisions are made on your behalf so you can focus on the content. Sways can be created from scratch, a template or an existing Word or PowerPoint document. The Sway app is available as on online tool only and is available through your UCL Office 365 account.
