Dynamic management of content in an electronic presentation

1. A method for dynamically modifying an ongoing electronic presentation, the method comprising:

after commencing an electronic presentation comprising content items for presentation by a computing system in a first sequence, identifying one or more physical cues from a plurality of attendees to the electronic presentation;

determining the one or more physical cues indicate a lack of engagement for at least a portion of the plurality of attendees with the electronic presentation;

in response to the lack of engagement, identifying a subset of one or more of the content items that have yet to be presented, wherein the one or more content items in the subset each include one or more characteristics of previously presented content items that elicited engaged reactions in the plurality of attendees as indicated by previous physical cues captured during presentation of the previously presented content items, wherein the one or more characteristics include a media type of a plurality of media types;

modifying the first sequence based on the physical cues to create a second sequence for which the content items will be presented, wherein modifying the first sequence includes reordering the content items such that the subset is presented sooner when presenting in the second sequence than in the first sequence; and

presenting the content items in the second sequence to the plurality of attendees.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical cues indicate reactions of the plurality of attendees and the method further comprises:

aggregating the reactions to determine an overall reaction of the plurality of attendees.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein modifying the first sequence based on the physical cues comprises:

modifying the first sequence based on the overall reaction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more physical cues indicate a lack of engagement comprises:

determining that less than a threshold number of the plurality of attendees had reactions to the electronic presentation indicating engagement with the electronic presentation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more characteristics include a topic of the subset.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media type comprises a photo.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the first sequence based on the physical cues comprises:

deleting one or more of the content items.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the content items comprise speaking notes to a presenter for the electronic presentation.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the content items comprise slides displayed to the plurality of attendees.

10. An apparatus for dynamically modifying an ongoing electronic presentation, the apparatus comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media;

a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to:

after commencing an electronic presentation comprising content items for presentation by a computing system in a first sequence, identify one or more physical cues from a plurality of attendees to the electronic presentation;

determine the one or more physical cues indicate a lack of engagement for at least a portion of the plurality of attendees with the electronic presentation;

in response to the lack of engagement, identify a subset of one or more of the content items that have yet to be presented, wherein the one or more content items in the subset each include one or more characteristics of previously presented content items that elicited engaged reactions in the plurality of attendees as indicated by previous physical cues captured during presentation of the previously presented content items, wherein the one or more characteristics include a media type of a plurality of media types;

modify the first sequence based on the physical cues to create a second sequence for which the content items will be presented, wherein modifying the first sequence includes reordering the content items such that the subset is presented sooner when presenting in the second sequence than in the first sequence; and

present the content items in the second sequence to the plurality of attendees.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the physical cues indicate reactions of the plurality of attendees and the program instructions further direct the processing system to:

aggregate the reactions to determine an overall reaction of the plurality of attendees.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein to modify the first sequence based on the physical cues, the program instructions direct the processing system to:

modify the first sequence based on the overall reaction.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein to determine the one or more physical cues indicate a lack of engagement, the program instructions direct the processing system to:

determine that less than a threshold number of the plurality of attendees had reactions to the electronic presentation indicating engagement with the electronic presentation.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more characteristics include a topic of the subset.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the media type comprises a photo.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein to modify the first sequence based on the physical cues, the program instructions direct the processing system to:

delete one or more of the content items.

17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the content items comprise speaking notes to a presenter for the electronic presentation.

18. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the content items comprise slides displayed to the plurality of attendees.

19. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon for dynamically modifying an ongoing electronic presentation, the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to:

after commencing an electronic presentation comprising content items for presentation by a computing system in a first sequence, identify one or more physical cues from a plurality of attendees to the electronic presentation;

determine the one or more physical cues indicate a lack of engagement for at least a portion of the plurality of attendees with the electronic presentation;

in response to the lack of engagement, identify a subset of one or more of the content items that have yet to be presented, wherein the one or more content items in the subset each include one or more characteristics of previously presented content items that elicited engaged reactions in the plurality of attendees as indicated by previous physical cues captured during presentation of the previously presented content items, wherein the one or more characteristics include a media type of a plurality of media types;

modify the first sequence based on the physical cues to create a second sequence for which the content items will be presented, wherein modifying the first sequence includes reordering the content items such that the subset is presented sooner when presenting in the second sequence than in the first sequence; and

present the content items in the second sequence to the plurality of attendees.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 19 , wherein the physical cues indicate reactions of the plurality of attendees and the program instructions further direct the processing system to:

aggregate the reactions to determine an overall reaction of the plurality of attendees; and

modify the first sequence based on the overall reaction.
