Introductory Go-Animate for IVECA Feedback

Go-Animate Alpha


This is the first Go-Animate I created so that Eunhee would be able to see what the existing options are for the Go-Animate.

Introductory Characters and Backgrounds

Eunhee's changes because of my suggested Welcome Section Instructions Materials

My client made the following changes after I proposed there be alterations to the welcome sections. This is from my Instructional Design Class as well as my experience education students in the High School classroom and their needs.

> I liked that you pointed that there are tutorials in the Virtual
> Classrooms. That could be viewed after the students enroll to the Class.
> So, I made some additional videos and some replacement of the current ones
> as below -- very quickly and temporarily for Moodle 1.9 as thinking you
> would be working on 2.5 version. (I know that  my instruction and voice
> need to be replaced.... [?] I have been wanting to hire professional
> voice-over persons, but it has been just delayed and delayed. So, I decided
> to make it for the current IVECA teachers who could not have a chance to
> join the full training session).
>
> *Students need to do*:
> 1. Enroll to the Virtual Classroom - video
