Haiku Deck

Website: https://www.haikudeck.com/

Purpose:
Haiku Deck is a cloud-based presentation tool that focuses on simple, visual, story-driven slide design. It offers clean templates and a large image library, but I didn’t find it very user-friendly and had some trouble navigating the platform.

Features:

• Templates with automatic formatting to keep slides clean and consistent

• Access to a large library of free, high-quality images

• Allows export to PowerPoint, PDF, or share via link

• Ideal for photo-rich or storytelling presentations

Restrictions:

• Limited design customization compared to tools like PowerPoint

• Free version has limited export options and slide themes

• Paid subscription needed to download presentations or use offline

What can it do for us? (as nurse educators):

• Have students or staff create short decks to present case studies or quality improvement proposals

• Ideal for storytelling-based lessons

How much does it cost?

• Free Plan: Limited themes and features; view-only sharing

• Pro Plan: $9.99/month (billed annually) or $19.99/month (month-to-month) for full access and downloads
