Morphing entire course
Well, it took me a looooooong time to get there, and dozens of attempts with this morphing transition. And for days I've been looking for the pedagogical “plus” of this new option. I thought that the possibility of seeing the whole course to be done could be a “plus”.
I finally came up with the idea because there's a similarity in meaning between the words (formation) course and path or trajectory in French.
I made a very large map of the whole course on PPT, saved as an SVG image, imported it into SL and use transition morphing to move the map around to make backgrounds for each slide. By moving it, changing its size, rotating it.
Sometimes this works perfectly visually. Sometimes it doesn't, and there are problems I've left in on purpose: when the map moves just a little (display problems), or when the map refuses to move at all. When you update the SVG map after changing one or more details, you lose the relative position (rotation) in SL. You have to re-set the slides.
In the end, it was fun to do, but all this can be improved (I'm talking about my demo, of course).😉

Oh my word, this is brilliant! I have a demo I built that used motion paths to do the same thing but it's a lot more work and involves variables to trigger the various slides in and out. This is a much simpler and more elegant solution. Thanks for the fantastic share, ThierryEMMANUEL
This is brilliantly done and an inspiration Thierry!
This blew my mind, Thierry! I really loved how you designed this. It reminded me a bit of Prezi (if that’s still a thing), but better! It felt like going on a journey and I was excited to see what happened next. So well done!
This has been completely influenced by Prezi, indeed. Good point, Thaddaeus. It's nice of you, but it's LESS nice here.
