What is an animation?
Animations can range from a simple slide motion, like animating a logo when your learner starts a course, to infographics and elements that animate in a variety of ways to explain complex concepts to learners or help them explore specific topics. These add both style and substance to your eLearning.

-
Animation: design Level 1
At Level 1, your animation will consist of simple transitions such as slide in/out or fade in/out, images, and your organization's branding elements, like your logo, fonts, and colors.
-
Animation: design Level 2
At Level 2, your animation includes more dynamic transitions incorporating significant movement and background music while we apply your organization's branding elements to the motion design.
-
Animation: design Level 3
At Level 3, your animation is entirely custom. It can include a logo animation, motion graphic movement that excites the viewer, sound effects, and background music, with your organization's brand on full display.
Considerations for animation
Animations can also be slow to load if they have a large file size, and it may hinder performance by rendering poorly on low bandwidth connection. The higher the definition, the slower the loading.
Quality, not quantity: invest in creating resources that add value for your learners.
Timing matters: animations should be neither too fast nor too slow.
Delivery always needs to fit with desired outcomes and learning objectives.
