I Can Present from Kudlian Software


I Can Present from Kudlian Software is designed to bring students presentations to life by allowing them to create, film and present their work in a new and exciting way using green-screen technology.

Students begin by choosing appropriate backgrounds for their presentation, either from the built-in library or by importing a suitable image file. Slides can then have a range of symbols placed on them if appropriate, and a script for the presentation written in the editing area. To create a more authentic news broadcast feel to your presentation you can also add a watermark and scrolling news ticker for breaking news. A customisable date and time stamp allows presentations to take place in the past, or even the future depending on your topic.

Once completed, the filming can take place in front of a Chroma Key screen (Green Screen) to allow the presenter to be superimposed on a background, or choose the spilt screen option to film in front of any background, an outside broadcast for instance.Text written for each slide will scroll on the built in tele-prompt allowing users to put together a flawless broadcast, advancing onto a new slide with a simple click on the mouse.

I Can Present is ideal for building on cross-curricula ICT links including, teamwork, collaboration, speaking & listening and creative writing, and it's fun!

Features Include:

  • Layout editor allows users to import own backgrounds or use library of maps, places and themes
  • Animated symbols to annotate slides
  • In-built teleprompt
  • Watermark, News-ticker & Time stamp to add that authentic news broadcast feel
  • Map/Weather symbol libraries allow weather forecasts to be created
  • Chroma key/split screen filming view
