#ANIMATED PHEW GIF FULL#
GIFs provide a great middle ground between using only static images and going full out video animation (or HTML/CSS animation). Where once before it was easy to create interactive and engaging animations, now developers were left to make use of the tools that the eLearning authoring tool could provide or retrain in software such as After Effects to create new video-based animation. When Flash/Animate became phased out within the eLearning community, it left a hole within eLearning courses. Learners experience GIFs on a daily basis from sites such as Buzzfeed, Reddit, Imgur, and other social media sites. GIFs are nothing new (they celebrated their 30th anniversary this year), but their use is more popular than ever.

When GIFs first began, they were very basic with only alternating frames now GIFs have evolved to include more high-quality detailed animation.

GIF stands for Graphic Interface Format basically, this means GIFs are image files that include a form of animation. Animated GIFS In eLearning: What, Why, How
