Engaging Students with Xtranormal
I stumbled across a link to xtranormal.com in an Alan Levine presentation, and was intrigued with the concept of creating presentations with animated characters. Even more intriguing was the claim that all I needed to do is type the script. I couldn’t resist, so I took my previous post on “Post-LMS Era” and used it (with very minor modifications as the script for my xtranormal “movie”.
The movie took about 45-60 minutes to complete, including adding camera angles, actor gestures, etc. While my blog script does not make for riveting dialog, it may be a useful way to demonstrate the potential of xtranormal’s online tools. I can see the potential of this tool for creating fun, engaging learning objects.
