GIFs or Graphic Interchange format images provide you with the ability to animate images or video for use on web sites and even elearning modules. This week's Elearning Heroes Challenge #83 is about creating 10 GIFs that could be used for a learning course or even to describe the instructional design process. For my sample below, I used www.imgflip.com GIF generator to convert excerpts of The Exorcist (1973) and Will Smith's video for "Getting Jiggy with It".
instructional designers must be flexible

that moment when you are asked "just put a PowerPoint together"

You are told you only got one week for the project

we need learning objectives

Your SME availability is very limited

internal reaction to frequent scope changes

Your LMS can't read your SCORM file

You can't do a job task analysis

When you realize you can't beat them

When you finally finish the project
