Today I learned…
(02Sept2024) Camtasia -> Animations -> Full Opacity
You’d think if the out-of-box animation “No Opacity” fades a [thing] out, that “Full Opacity” would fade a [thing] in. In fact, if you mouseover the lil pic just above Full Opacity’s label, the lil pic fades in. So that’s that. Right?
BUT! If you press-drag it onto the track/timeline of the [thing] that you want to animate, and then scrub the timeline, nothing happens. In fact, you have to go to the [things] anim starting spot, go over to Properties, and set the opacity to 0 yourself. If you animate the [thing] with say, “No Opacity” before the “Full Opacity” animation, Full Opacity works like it’s supposed to.
Now I totally get that if a [thing] is already at full opacity, on the timeline, and then “Full Opacity” is invoked, [thing] its going to have a hard time going from 100% to 100%, which isn’t going to look like much. On the other hand, if you are going to have it, then it should work as advertised?

a confession.
In turning my website (whose name is an eye test, and hard to remember, right?) into a WordPress site, my eyes were definitely too big for my stomach.

Post Practice
In the process of reading eLearning and the Science of Instruction- 5th edition, they are adamant that you should never ever EVER! use background music, or ambient sounds (eg. traffic with cars).
I keep thinking of the vyond.com feature that supplies you ample options for both things! Which makes you think about how many educational technology tools do things because they can, not because they should.
But isn’t that software applications all over?

eLearning and the Science of Instruction 5th ed.
“We see that the job of an instructional professional is not just to present information – such as presenting text that contains everything the learner needs to know- but rather to guide how the learning uses both channels to make sense of the material”
