251 — Animation for learning

Animations can be beautiful and mesmerising pieces of art. This week on the Mind Tools L&D podcast, Gemma talks to Selina Wagner, Creative Director at Ping Creates, and Ross Garner about how we can use this art form to create impactful learning experiences. 

We discuss:

• when and where animations can become an effective part of a learning solution
• the process of designing and creating animations
• how to think through and overcome challenges
