With Vyond you can create engaging 2D animations that can be exported as a video file and inserted into your eLearning courses. To help us create these animations we can use something called Props. In Vyond Props are objects that can be inserted into your animation, these objects can be anything from a car to a coffee table. Props help to set the scene and allows characters to interact with objects on screen. In this example we are going to add furniture to an empty apartment

The ability to add States to your objects can play a role in the functionality of your elearning.

When designing and developing eLearning one way you can add animations is to use Vyond. Vyond is a browser based 2D animation creation tool that allows you to create interactive and engaging animations for your learners. In Vyond you have access to a wide range of pre-made backgrounds that you can use in your animations. Backgrounds help to set the scene for your animation and allow you to focus on your characters and interactions. When creating a new video in Vyond you will

LEARNING is everything and everything is learning. That Sliding Doors moment — we’ve all had one. The concept in my head goes back to a movie I saw back in the day in 1998. Now that I’m a father of a 14-year-old boy and a pre-teen girl, my cinema intake these days is (like almost every parent I know) dictated by that unavoidable reality.

Just as a facilitator can make or break a classroom-based business training program, the right voice acting can be invaluable in taking your elearning content to another level. Typically, people think of elearning as mainly consisting of text and images, but having audio is also essential for your aural learners to absorb the material. In general, a voiceover helps make the content more engaging and memorable to all learners. Most of the elearning we create includes narration

Using Vyond you can create engaging 2D animations that can bring to life what you are teaching. When creating your animations one way you can make it more interactive is to use Enter Effects. In Vyond Enter Effects are animations that are applied to elements on screen (such as a character, car or building) and when the scene starts the on-screen element will appear with that animation. To apply an Enter Effect first click on the element you want to give an Enter Effect. Next

There’s a book I love and cherish called The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. The premise being, when you die and transcend to Heaven (as is the case with Eddie, the protagonist) you meet the five people who changed the course of your life. But not necessarily the people you might think. It’s the homeless man who asked you for a buck much to your haughty displeasure. However, in that split second when you paused to search for change, his ‘ask’ stopped you from s

Vyond is a great tool you can use as part of your learning and development strategy to create interactive 2D animations. As Vyond is browser-based you will need to create your animations in the browser, download the video file and insert it into your eLearning course or use it as a stand alone video file. A character in Vyond is an avatar that you can use in your animations, characters are the foundation of Vyond and it is what your learners will be focused on a majority of t
