Animations are only available in the new lesson editor.
Component animation allows you to control the timing and order in which content appears on your slides. This helps you guide your students’ focus, reveal information step-by-step, and create more engaging, structured lessons.
With this feature, you can animate a wide range of components: Text, Image, Shape, Line, Video, Hotspot, Spinner, Timer and soon, Audio. By adding the animation, the components will instantly appear on the slide when clicked.
For text components, animation becomes especially useful: when your text contains paragraphs or bullet points, you can choose to have them appear one at a time, helping to reduce cognitive overload and keep attention on the current point.
How to use animations in your lesson:
To animate components in your slide:
Add any of the supported components to your slide (Text, Image, Video, Shape, Line, etc.).
Select the component and click the star-icon in the menu on your slide (1) or at the right side of your screen (2).
Option 1: clicking the star-icon (Animation icon) within your slide
Option 2: clicking the star-icon (Animation icon) at the right side of your screen
Click on ‘animate component’ and the component is added to the animation list. For text components with multiple paragraphs or bullet points, you can display them one by one by selecting the ‘Appear one after another’ option.
How it looks like during teaching:
4. If desired, you can change the order of animations by dragging the items to a different position.
5. In teach mode, the animated components will appear on the slide when clicked.
That’s it! With component animation, you stay in control of the pace and focus of your lesson, one click at a time.
