Excellent module.
The video was just a little bit fast for me.
Brilliant
Be good to get saome animations prepared for certain areas around building, such as windows and doors.
This module has given me an idea about using animated images in engaging learners attention and reinforcing the knowledge and making it memorable. In particular when you have these images in teaching how to use a formula in Maths or even the processes involved in converting fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions, like images on a flow chart to outline the steps involved in order.
Takes away then pressure of trying to do too much.
