Findings

The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches are presented. The discussion provides readers also with information relevant for rating systems according their personal needs.

Research limitations/implications

The categorization for presentation systems can be extended and applied for the categorization of audience response systems.

Practical implications

A source of information that assists users while they choose an appropriate existing presentation system and developers while they design new ones.

Originality/value

This article presents a workflow‐oriented taxonomy for educational presentation systems which is used to analyze several systems. In addition, the different underlying conceptual and technical approaches of different systems are discussed in this work. The provided information is useful for users and developers of such systems.
