Animation in PowerPoint for the Web versus Google Slides|

Below are two examples of how Animations can be deployed using Google's free Blogger. The first example is an embedded interactive PowerPoint presentation and the second example is an embedded Google Slides presentation.

Google Slides does not have the rich features of animation that PowerPoint has, so I had to work around that by playing animated GIFs when a person clicks on the button that says "Drop".

Please note all browsers and not all devices are equally willing to play these animations as intended. The two animations below were tested using Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on my Windows 10 notebook. I also tested them in Chrome and Opera on my Android devices, with good results, especially if I use my stylus to click the navigation buttons, instead of my fingers. :-)

Visit my course at Udemy on Interactive PowerPoint Animations. PowerPoint presentations to be used as templates for your own animations are available for all the examples used in the course. Sometimes I have discount coupons for the course to give away. I post the coupons on my Facebook page, but they go quick, so I offer them to my mailing list first.

Interactive PowerPoint Animation for Education

Interactive PowerPoint Animation for Education| In my 2023 Udemy course , I demonstrate how to create and publish interactive animations in PowerPoint. We follow the process as outlined in this video: The process to create interactive PowerPoint animations The "Telescopes" example below is an instance of what I am proposing: The learner watches a narrated animation (that started life in PowerPoint) on the operation of two types of telescopes and then at various points during the animated presentation, she has to interact with what is on screen using the H5P video interactivities. A working example of an interactive PowerPoint animation The loop is of course not fully closed: At the end of the presentation, the learner gets a report of what he knows and what he does not yet know. The teacher, however, does not know yet, because this blog site won't give her a report. To close the loop fully, the H5P interactivity should be deployed in a Learner Management system. We cove...

Publishing interactive PowerPoint animations

Examples of ways to publish PowerPoint animations| Try viewing this blog in various browsers. The morphing animation is displayed using a variety of strategies. Various browser settings and various levels of sophistication of your audience may cause unexpected results. Strategy 1. This is the "native" PowerPoint presentation displayed as in iframe in this blog: For this strategy to work, you need a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription in order to publish your PowerPoint presentation to the web. One of the options then open to you is to embed your presentation as an iframe. In the event that you don't have that subscription, you can use Strategy 2 below. Note that Google slides lose some of their animation and sound. It is quite easy to bring the sound back. Google slides is a good option if you don't have a high-end Microsoft subscription. There does not seem to be a way to make the animation run automatically.
