They are ranked 31st in the world in QS (rankings are not that useful, but they can be a metric to whether people "consider" it a good school). Extremely well-known research-wise, at least in Canada and north-east.
Better presentation technology will not be found here, as much as I detest Powerpoint, I'm willing to admit that it is the pinnacle of slide presentation.
To reach a better presentation and flowing of information across the society, the answer is to ditch slides altogether. Which I am not envisioning how as I'm not a product manager or a salesman but for myself I'm doing perfectly fine with markdown and other text based means of communicating information.
This also allows students to take notes and actually absorb the material - otherwise, there is a tendency to pack too much into slides and you end up loosing half your audience. Although sometimes helpful for giving visual intuitions, more often than not, slides just get in the way.
When there really is no alternative to slides (e.g., for workshops and conference presentations), I find LaTeX/Beamer much easier to handle. It has good defaults and does not require fiddling with transitions and formatting and superficial but ultimately pointless settings.
