Interactive presentation system

A method of presenting presentation stored on a first computing device as a presentation file, comprising:

• at the first computing device,
• initiating a presentation session that displays a second view of presentation at a second computing device of each of a plurality of users and displays a first view of the presentation that is independent of the second view at the first computing device;
• receiving a user edit via an author tool of an interaction module;
• editing the presentation file to correspond with the user edit;
• receiving a first annotation;
• updating the presentation file to include the first annotation that is viewable in the first view and the second view;
• receiving a plurality of second annotations that are viewable in the first view;
• and
• updating, via presentation logic of the interaction module, the presentation file to include a selected one of the plurality of second annotations in the second view;
• and
• during the presentation session, displaying a third view of the presentation at a third display device in communication with the first computing device, the third view being independent of the second view and the first view;

A computerized educational presentation system, comprising:

• a processor of a first computing device;
• and
• a storage device having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor provide a presentation application program, the presentation application program including:
• a presentation module configured to be operable in an author mode to create presentation file storing a presentation having a plurality of resources including a collaboration page, the presentation module displaying the presentation only at the first computing device without being accessible for viewing at other computing devices during the author mode, and configured to be operable in a presentation mode to make the presentation accessible for viewing at a plurality of second computing devices in communication with the first computing device via a network, the presentation being accessible for viewing at the plurality of second computing devices responsive to initiating the presentation mode, present a third view of the presentation on a third display device in communication with the first computing device, the third view being independent of a first view and a second view, present a poll embedded in the presentation, a view of the poll being viewable in each of the first view, the second view, and the third view, and present a summary of poll feedback in the first view, the second view, and the third view;
• and
• an interaction module configured to, during the author mode, update one or more resources of the presentation and edit the presentation in response to receiving user edits via an author tool of the interaction module updating the presentation file to include the one or more resources that are updated, and during the presentation mode, update the presentation with first annotations and/or selected second annotations in response to presentation of the collaboration page at the plurality of second computing devices, the selected second annotations being selected from a plurality of second annotations received at the first computing device based on user input at the first computing device, and receive poll feedback from the second computing device of each of the plurality of users, the poll feedback for a single second computing device being viewable at that second computing device, and the poll feedback from all second computing devices being viewable in the first view.
