Genially is a cloud-based authoring tool for building interactive content and eLearning.
What’s an interactive timeline?
An interactive timeline is a lot more engaging than a simple linear diagram. An interactive design timeline contains clickable milestones, popup boxes, and other responsive elements. Because your team members or students can click to explore the screen, they’ll be more focused on what they’re reading.
The other bonus is better visual design. An interactive timeline helps you avoid cluttering the screen. This feature is really helpful for teachers and educators. If you’ve ever tried to cram the entire history of Ancient Egypt onto one slide you’ll know what we’re talking about! Bite-size chunks of text in pop-up windows allow learners to follow each point one by one, without being overwhelmed with information.
Interactive design might sound complicated, but with Genially’s timeline infographics you don’t need any technical or design skills. Each template is pre-built with animated graphics and clickable buttons, so it’s just a case of filling in the blanks.
With Genially’s time line maker, you’re not limited to horizontal lines and text bubbles. For a really creative timeline, try adding video, sound effects, embedded maps and other online content for an immersive, audiovisual experience.
