Cinemagraph & Looping Videos in E-Learning #428: Challenge | Recap
\n
Using subtle, looping motion in your course can effectively add an extra layer of visual interest to the typical slide background. The key is finding the right balance in motion, pacing, and composition. And that's what this week's e-learning challenge is all about.
\n
Challenge of the Week
\n
This week, your challenge is to show how cinemagraphs or looping background videos can be used in e-learning. To help you get started, check out some ways motion backgrounds can be used in e-learning.
\n
Cinemagraphs
\n
Cinemagraphs are a creative way to animate isolated parts of an image. Unlike videos, cinemagraphs are more like static photos that include a small area of the looping animation. This approach works well for e-learning because it reduces the amount of on-slide animation that helps create depth and richness.
Slide backgrounds are one of the easiest ways to create a sense of place and location in your course designs. Because backgrounds are the most significant on-slide element, they help set the context for your learning content more than any other object.
\n
So how can you improve on the perfect background? Try using full-screen videos as slide backgrounds.
\n
Companies like Wistia creatively use video backgrounds to engage their visitors the moment the page loads.
Natural environments, like offices, factories, classrooms, and other workspaces, help create a sense of authenticity. Like still photographs, videos can also add a sense of location and context to your slides.
The weekly e-learning challenges are ongoing opportunities to learn, share, and build your e-learning portfolios. You can jump into any or all of the previous challenges anytime you want. I’ll update the recap posts to include your demos.
\n

Here is an example I created in the past as I work on a new example for this week.
This game lets you play the part of a front desk assistant directing phone calls to the correct extension.
