Overview

Visme is an Internet-based subscription service (with some free features) that helps with the creation of presentations, slide shows, infographics, charts, and other content. Users of Visme can access 1000s of templates and customizable features (e.g., music, videos, widgets, etc.) and can publish their creations online and on various social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. Many users publish their creations to the Visme site, making it possible for others to use or borrow their creations.

Currently, Visme enjoys relationships with educational institutions like Loma Linda University, Florida State University, the Culinary Institute of America, the University of Manchester, the University of South Dakota, and the University of Michigan Medical School.[1] About itself, Visme says that "We empower educators and students to create beautiful interactive presentations, infographics and reports to help them excel in their academic arena." Currently, educators can obtain access to Visme for an entire semester for only $25, a discounted price. There are also classroom (1 teacher, 29 student accounts) and school level paid subscription packages. Visme claims that it is "the only platform you need to [create] any type of visual content for use within the classroom."[2]

Although the paid subscription packages include more options and allow for access to more of Visme's functions, the free plan does include a number of useable contents. It can still be sued to created and publish stylish, sleek, and informative slideshow presentations, infographics, and other kinds of digital content for use in presentations or lesson plans. In fact, Visme does provide free access to a blog that provides tips and suggestions for creating educational content. With paid subscriptions, users have access to "over 300,000 high-quality photos, 750 templates and growing, over 6,500 icons in trending styles, and more than 120 fonts to choose from."[3]
