On Evernote, you have the 3 different presentation font sizes that you can select right in the presentation mode - which is useful as it doesn't require making edits to the original note.Įvernote turns your mouse into a colour laser-pointer - dropbox just has your mouseīoth can switch easily between dark/light modesĭropbox Paper can be accessed from a browser - meaning you don't need your own computer with Evernote installed to access it- this seems useful for lecture, as you could just lecture from the computer in the classroom, from an iPad, etc. On Dropbox, you cannot change the font size - all you get is the header and then a standard font size - which you can make Bold - but that's about it. Evernote is on the Right, using the middle font size, and DropBox Paper is on the Left. Here are some comparisons of Evernote Presentation and Dropbox Paper Presentation Modes. But, at least, this Dropbox Paper solution is better than nothing in the event that legacy mode stops working. With Dropbox, I suppose the equivalent would be sharing a folder with them, which doesn’t seem quite as useful - I preferred getting them set up in Evernote themselves so that they could copy the lecture note and then take their own notes inside of their copy of my notes during class.įor presenting, Evernote has the superior solution, so it really remains really frustrating and unfortuante that they’ve cancelled the feature (unless you stick with the legacy mode). I really liked being able to share a public version of an Evernote Notebook with my students, as then they’d have all of my lecture notes all in one place. However, you can pick between a light or dark background, and advance slide to slide. Unfortunately, the breaks (section breaks) are visible (lines across the document), so it isn’t quite as smooth or seamless as the Evernote presentation mode where you only enter the breaks while in presentation mode. You can add new slide breaks as well by adding a divider. If you copy/paste your evernote note into Dropbox Paper, it will save wherever you had ‘breaks’ for slides. I know at least one other person on the forum has mentioned this, but Dropbox Paper does seem to be a bit of a replacement for this feature. It's such a shame to see they took it off in the new version.

Wow, this was exact the scenario how I was attracted by evernote: During a lecture in the university seeing my tutor using evernote with presentation mode!Īlso this function was the main reason for me to pay for the premium. Thus, while those 1,200 may never use presentation mode themselves, they only found and became Evernote users because of the presenter view feature that allows me to make Evernote a centrepiece to all of the courses that I teach. Many mention to me that they end up continuing to use Evernote for their other courses and general note taking and organization - with quite a few purchasing a paid student plan. I teach 200+ students per year, which means that at least 1,200 university students have downloaded Evernote while in my classes. I've been using Evernote to lecture to university students for the past 6 years. However, I think it should be noted that this small group likely brings in many new users to Evernote by introducing Evernote to students.

It seems like it is a feature that is integral to a small number of users, for whom without it Evernote ceases to be of much use at all, but unfortunately, it seems that this small group is too small. I noticed on the beta testing that the feature was gone and so figured it wouldn't make it into this recent release I downloaded a copy of the old installation file and will have to just keep using the old version without any updates until I assume at some point it will likely stop working. I even wrote about it here to share the feature others.

It was a breath of fresh air for creating clean and crisp presentation slides directly from well-formatted lecture notes that students could follow along with in class and edit. But without presentation mode in the desktop version, Evernote loses all functionality for me. It was very disappointing when they removed presentation mode from the app versions, as that version used to allow me to present my lectures right from my phone or iPad.
