Abstract

Managing a presentation includes identifying audience member interactions with a plurality of presentation pages. Each of the plurality of presentation pages is associated with data indicative of the audience member interactions. That data is processed to identify an action plan specifying an update to the presentation. That update is based on identified audience member interactions with at least one of the plurality of presentation pages. The action plan is implemented to update the presentation.

Claims

1. A memory resource storing instructions that when executed cause a processing resource to implement a system for managing a presentation, the instructions comprising:

a page module to maintain metadata associated with each of a plurality of presentation pages, the metadata for each presentation page identifying audience member interactions with that presentation page;

an action module to process the metadata associated with the plurality of presentation pages to identify an action plan specifying at least one of a recommendation to modify a presentation and a modification to the presentation, the specified action plan being dependent on the metadata; and

an update module to apply the action plan to provide at least one of the recommendation to modify the presentation and the modification of the presentation, the applied management action corresponding to one or more of the plurality of presentation pages.

2. The memory resource of claim 1, wherein:

the metadata for each of the plurality of presentation pages identifies a number of times the presentation page has been interacted with; and

the action module is configured to process the metadata to identify a first of the plurality of presentation pages that has been interacted with more than a second of the plurality of presentation pages to and to identify an action plan that specifies at least one of;

a recommendation to modify the presentation to focus more on the first presentation page than the second presentation page; and

a modification of the presentation to increase the focus on the first presentation page over the second presentation page.

3. The memory resource of claim 2, wherein:

the metadata for each of the plurality of presentation pages identifies at least one of a role and a location of audience members that interacted with the presentation page during a previous presentation; and

the action module is configured to process the metadata to identify, with respect to a given audience member role or location, an interest in a first of the plurality of presentation pages over a second of the plurality of presentation pages and to identify, for a future audience having a primary audience member role or location matching the given audience member role or location, an action plan that specifies at least one of;

a recommendation to modify the presentation to focus more on the first presentation page than the second presentation page; and

a modification of the presentation to increase the focus on the first presentation page over the second presentation page.

4. The memory resource of claim 2, wherein:

the plan module is configured to maintain metadata for a current presentation, the metadata identifying audience member interactions indicative of audience engagement with the current presentation;

the action module is configured to process the metadata to identify a level of audience engagement during the current presentation and to identify, based on the level of engagement, an action plan that specifies a modification to the current presentation.

5. The memory resource of claim 4, wherein:

the level of audience engagement is indicative of a shared audience member question with respect to a given one of the plurality of presentation pages; and

the modification is a modification to increase focus on the given presentation page during the current presentation.

6. A system for managing a presentation comprising:

a page engine to maintain metadata indicative of audience member interactions with each of a plurality of presentation pages;

an action engine to identify an action plan based on the metadata, the action plan specifying an update; and

an update engine to implement the action plan to update a presentation with respect to at least one of the plurality of presentation pages.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein;

the action plan specifies an update in the form of at least one of a modification and a recommendation to modify the presentation with respect to the at least one of the plurality of presentation pages;

the update engine is configured to implement the action plan to, at least one of, communicate the recommendation and modify the presentation.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein:

the page engine is configured to recognize audience member download requests for specified ones of the plurality of presentation pages and maintain the metadata such that it is indicative of the number of download requests for each presentation page;

the action engine is configured to analyze the metadata to identify a first of the presentation pages that has been requested more than a second of the presentation pages and to identify an action plan that specifies an update that increases focus on the first presentation page over the second; and

the update engine is configured to implement the action plan to update the presentation to increase focus on the first presentation page.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein

the page engine is configured to, for each of the plurality of presentation pages, maintain metadata indicative of a characteristic of each audience member who has interacted with that presentation page;

the action engine is configured to analyze the metadata to identify preference for a first presentation page over a second presentation page for a given characteristic based on a level of interaction with the first and second pages by audience members having the given characteristic and identify an action plan that specifies an update based on the identified preference; and

the update engine is configured to implement the action plan to update the presentation when the presentation is to be directed to an audience of members primarily sharing the given characteristic.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the characteristic is at least one of a role and a location.

11. A method for managing a presentation, comprising:

identifying audience member interactions with a plurality of presentation pages;

associating each of the plurality of presentation pages with data indicative of the audience member interactions;

processing the data to identify an action plan specifying an update to the presentation, the update being based on identified audience member interactions with at least one of the plurality of presentation pages; and

implementing the action plan to update the presentation.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein:

identifying comprises identifying audience member interactions that are download requests for a specified ones of the plurality of presentation pages; and

processing comprises processing the data to identify a specified one of the plurality of presentation pages that has been requested more than others of the plurality of presentation pages and identifying an action plan that specifies an update to the presentation that will increase focus on the specified one of the plurality of presentation pages.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein;

associating comprises, for each of the plurality of presentation pages, associating that presentation page with data indicative of a characteristic of each audience member that interacted with that presentation page;

processing comprises processing the data to identify a specified one of the plurality of presentation pages that is preferred by audience members sharing a given characteristic and identifying an action plan to update the presentation based on the identified preference; and

updating comprises implementing the action plan to update the presentation when the presentation is to be directed to an audience of members primarily sharing the given characteristic.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein;

identifying comprises identifying user interactions indicative of audience engagement with a current presentation;

associating comprises, during the current presentation, associating a corresponding one of the plurality of presentation pages with data indicative of audience engagement; and
