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...
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.

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.

So choose one that suits your story and place it on your slide. You can make it any size that you want to. 2. Place a shape and text over the picture Eventually, what we want to achieve is for the picture to peek out from behind the text; We want the picture to come flying toward the viewer through the text. Something like this... To achieve this effect we need a shape over the picture and we need to "Cut the text out" from the shape that is placed over the picture. To do that we need to place a Text box over the shape as well and enter our message in the text box. In the example below I used a rectangle; one could also use any other shape or even an image. Now select the shape first and then the text box and go to Shape Format, Merge Shapes, and Union this will...
