Annotations Solutions Needed
Jan 20, 2012
Hi Creative e-Learning experts,
I am facing a small problem. I am creating a course which if done using the tools that I know would result in a very animation intensive project and hence would be very time consuming. So I considered "annotations" that I could use real time while syncing animations. But the problem is that I need "line" type and/or shaded rectangle/circle type annotations. The arrows and the cross marks will not work for this.
I intend to teach students how to read and understand a sentence. So that is why I want to pause briefly as I am speaking a sentence and I want to highlight on a few important things.
I tried using rectangle stretched as thin as possible to try to get a feel for a line. But "thin" size was not think enough to give an impression of a line. I have attached the pic here. Also, the size is not consistent. Can we get it thinner than this and a more consistent size. Am I doing something wrong with it while I am making it on the screen?
Is there something less time consuming than animations here? If not, then I will proceed with the animations route only and account for the increased time in my planning doc. :(.
In ideal world, I would have loved to have the following ability - sync animations using articulate presenter, add on-screen circles and rectangles using ppt slideshow pointer. That way I would have had the best of both worlds...
Would really appreciate your help.

How "Thin" Rectangles look?

Hi Payal,
This will get attention here as well, but I think you should post here too, per our earlier discussion
oops...You know I meant to post it there on the "General Discussion" forum only, but I accidentally selected "Articulate Presenter". Thanks for checking this up...
I just posted it here. Hopefully now it is at the right place...
If you want, you may delete this thread since its duplicate...
Looks good, Payal!
We'll leave this one up too, just to ensure you get the maximum visibility
Good luck!
