Getting Giffy With It: Creating GIFs for Elearning

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".
