Genio Unveils Innovative Presentation Rehearsal Tool
Genio Present empowers students by fostering confidence through structured, private practice.
Oral communication is a vital aspect of academic success. Many students, particularly those with learning differences, struggle with anxiety that hampers their ability to perform in presentations. Recognizing this challenge, Genio has introduced a transformative solution to support students during these critical assessments.
Understanding the Challenge of Oral Presentations
The act of presenting can trigger significant anxiety for students, affecting not only their performance but also their overall engagement in education. A notable study reveals that anxiety around presentations can discourage students from pursuing higher education. These issues have become even more pronounced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited in-person interaction and has been linked to communication deficits among children.
Introducing Genio Present
Genio Present offers a guided rehearsal tool aimed at helping students improve their oral communication skills. By providing an environment where students can practice privately and at their own pace, the tool addresses common fears and encourages confident expression.

Integration and Usability
Importantly, Genio Present is compatible with any presentation software, ensuring ease of access for students and eliminating the need for extensive training on new technology. This focus allows students to prioritize confidence-building instead of navigating complex tools.

Holly Donohue, chief product officer at Genio, emphasizes the importance of communication skills in education: "Academic presentations are used as assessments because they develop critical communication skills that students need for life beyond the classroom.
