Microsoft 365 SWAY Set-Up Consultancy
About the Service
Microsoft Sway is an online app in Microsoft 365 that makes it easy to create and share interactive reports, storylines, presentations, newsletters, and more.
Microsoft Sway takes care of the formatting, design, and layout of your content with its built-in design engine, meaning you are no longer limited to choosing from pre-designed templates, giving your creations a unique look and feel for your school. You can add your own text and pictures, or import content from other sources, then watch Sway do the rest.
Interactive content such as Microsoft Forms or videos of school activity can be embedded helping your school drive parental engagement.
Finished Sways are easy to share with Staff, Parents, Governors, and Pupils, without signing up, signing in, or downloading anything, giving users the ability to scroll through the content at their own pace. It allows you to send the Microsoft Sway link in multiple formats, i.e., email, text, web-based hyperlink. The finished product can be exported into Word of PDF format.
If you want more control of what you share, privacy settings can be changed to accommodate the necessary requirements. This allows you to decide if others can simply view the content or have the option to edit it, which is helpful for creating a collaborative project where groups of students can work together.
