Create and Publish Educational Animations using PowerPoint

Description

Welcome to "Create and Publish Educational Animations using PowerPoint"!

You don't have to be a first-class graphic design artist to create effective teaching animations in PowerPoint. I'm not a design artist and I'm not ashamed to say it, but I think I make effective teaching tools that start life on a PowerPoint slide and reach my students as interactive, engaging learning experiences.

Are you an educator looking to create engaging and informative animations to enhance your lessons? Do you want to create animations that explain complex concepts in a visually appealing way? Do you want to improve your instructional design skills? Look no further!

In this course, you will learn how to create education-grade animations using nothing more than PowerPoint and free resources such as those offered by Google and Microsoft Clipchamp. You'll start by using design thinking concepts to plan and design your animations. Then, you'll learn about the principles of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning to create effective graphics.

You will discover how to create and edit shapes, use the animation and morph features in PowerPoint to move images and save your animations as GIF or MP4 files using free online facilities. Additionally, you'll learn how to use Google Blogger and Sites to publish your animations to your students anywhere in the world, and how to make your animations interactive using H5P.  Unlock the full potential of PowerPoint with ClassPoint, a tool that transforms your presentations into interactive experiences. In this additional lesson, we delve into the practical application of ClassPoint by exploring its role in facilitating a strategy planning session.

The best part? You don't need to spend a lot of money or have graphic design skills to create professional-grade animations! We'll show you how to use the resources already available to you, such as your Gmail account and Office 365 subscription, to create impressive animations that will captivate your learners.

Our course has been designed specifically for educators who want to make their teaching more impactful. You'll learn how to create animations that effectively convey complex concepts and relationships that change over time. By the end of the course, you'll be able to make a valuable contribution to your learners with scientifically informed educational animations.

Plus, you'll have access to the course forever, including the original PowerPoint presentations used as examples. You can use these as PowerPoint templates to continue to learn and apply your own techniques. You'll also have access to additional resources that you can share with your education community to assist other teachers in growing professionally and becoming educational animators as well.
