Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in presentations, lectures, seminars, and similar applications that preferably includes an application server computer that runs an interactive presentation facilitating software application and that is connected via a network to a presenter computer and to a number of client computers. The application server computer retrieves presentation slides stored in a database and broadcasts the slides for display at the presenter computer, on an overhead screen, and at each client computer. User notes entered at the client computers are transmitted to the application server computer for storage in the database. The notes are keyed to the presentation slide being displayed as the notes are entered, so that they can later be provided to each note taker in correlation with the slide presentation. Each audience member's personal notes and the slides may be later transmitted by the application server computer to the audience member.
