can make the transformation from victim to survivor.
INFORMATION:
• Learners will be informed of the instructional goal before the first unit begins.
• Learners will be informed that for each unit of instruction, the respective performance objective
and handout will be given to them.
LEARNER MATERIALS
• A pocket folder with each individual learner’s name on it and a pencil will be handed out.

get what you have been hoping for! A training program just for The
Agape House volunteers, which will enable you to assist and empower
the residents of the shelter not only to their satisfaction, but also to that of
yourselves. Now, what is a better way of putting that? Let me see. Oh
yes! This is a training program for the dedicated advocates of battered
women, and as a result of the program, these valuable devotees will have
the ability to translate their own experience in intimate partner abuse into
the knowledge needed to empower shelter residents so they can make the
transformation from victim to survivor.”

Audience: Graduate Students in Intro to Technology

BRING LEARNING TO LIFE
WITH
ANIMATIONS
A WEBQUEST
Create an animated story and a free website to display it on.
Introduction Task Process Evaluation
Conclusion Job Aid
Introduction
Learn how to make your instruction fun, appealing, and alive
by adding animations. Instructional designers and teachers
seem to always be looking for ways to liven up their
elearning courses. Animations can do just that, but where can
you find them for free? How can you use animations in your
instruction? This WebQuest introduces websites that offer free
animations (GIFs), and how to use them in your instruction.
You will practice using these animations by creating a
whacky, outrageous animated story on the free website you
create. No html experience is needed.
Task
74. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PLAN 74
You will sign up for a free website at FreeHostingNoAds.net
and create an animated story on it. You do not have to know
html. The story you create will follow a fairy tale plot from
which you will choose from a list of three. The animations
you will use to create your story with will come from
different websites that offer free animations for anyone to
use. The links to these websites are provided to you in the
Process section below.
Guidelines:
• There is no word limit for your story.
• Use at least one animation from each of the websites
presented to you.
• Use no less than ten different total animations in your
story.
• You can use each of your animations as many times as
you want, but you must have a total of ten different
animations in your story.
• Your animated story must follow one of the fairy tale
plots listed in the Process section below.
• Be creative. Make your story whacky, ridiculous, etc.
Follow the steps below to complete this WebQuest.
The Process
Step 1. Navigate to FreeHostingNoAds.net and sign up for a
free website by following the instructions. (If you would like,
you can use the Job Aid that is at the end of this document to
help you with this process). Your free website is where you’ll
create your animated story. You may name your website
75. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PLAN 75
anything you choose, and design your story page the way
you want, but be creative.
Step 2. Choose a plot for your story from one of the fairy
tales below. Your story should basically follow the plot you
choose, though names, places, events, animals, etc. can be
different from the original fairy tale.
• Little Red Riding Hood
• The Three Little Pigs
• Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Step 3. Make and name a new folder (ex. My WebQuest
GIFs) within your Pictures folder on your computer. You will
save the animations (GIFs) you collect in this folder.
Step 4. Navigate to the websites below and browse the
GIF categories to get ideas for your story according to the
plot you have chosen in Step 2.
• GIFS.net
• Mike’s Free gifS and Animations
• Free GIFs and Animations
• Heather's Animations
• GIFGIFS
Step 5. Collect the GIFs that look promising for your
story and save them to the GIF folder you created in Step 3.
You must choose at least one GIF from each of the websites
presented to you in Steps 4, 6, and 7.
76. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PLAN 76
Step 6. Navigate to Online Image Editor and create an
animation for your story by using either an image from your
computer or one from a website such as Microsoft Clip Art.
Just follow the instructions on the Online Image Editor
website to create your animation and then save it to your
GIF folder. This GIF will be one of the ten minimum that you
will use in your story.
Step 7. Navigate to PhotoFunny Animations and choose one
of the GIFs presented on the page. Follow the instructions to
create a funny GIF from either a photo of yourself or some
other photo, and save it to your GIF folder. This GIF will be
one of the ten minimum that you will use in your story.
Step 8. Navigate to GIF Magic and make all of your GIF
backgrounds transparent, if they are not already. While you
are there, you can also change the color of your GIFs, add
effects, crop them, etc. if you like. You must however, make
all of your GIF backgrounds transparent. You will need to
upload the GIFs you saved in your GIF folder to GIF Magic
to edit them. Just follow the instructions on the website.
After you finish each of them, save them to your GIF folder.
Step 9. On your website, create your nutty story with the
animations you have collected. The story has no word limit.
Remember to use at least ten different animations, though
you may use the same ones as often as you like. Also, don’t
forget that you must use at least one animation from the
websites presented in these WebQuest instructions. Have fun
with this. See how absurd, funny, and/or outrageous you can
make your animated story.
Step 10. When you are finished with your animated
story, create a title for your story and place it at the top of
77. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PLAN 77
the web page. For example, “Little Red Alien Head, or The
Three Little Shoes, or Oldie Locks and The Three Hairs.” Be
creative.
