is a tool worth adding to your bag of tricks
and possible student presentation ideas.
Since we seem to be currently interested in making infographics,
scroll kit allows you to make one of your own without too steep a learning
curve.
The end result is a scroll, and
you can see my example below.
I recently
took an online course about the Quality Matters Rubric for online teaching and
learning.
We were assigned to create a
graphic representation of how to give helpful feedback on course design.
This is my first attempt at a scroll, and while
I don’t see it becoming as big a tool for me as Prezi, it served this
report-type purpose very well.
You can
embed pictures, backgrounds, videos, etc.
and make it as simple or as fancy as your time allows.
My first attempt took about 1.5 hours after I
already had decided on the theme and what information I was going to convey.
Scrollkit would work well for poster type presentations—it
reminds me a little of Glogster, only I think it is easier to use. I never become a huge Glogster fan. You can tweet your scrolls or post them to Facebook with one click. One other nice
feature is that by clicking on the little mobile phone icon on the top right
corner, you can see what your scroll looks like on a mobile device. Scroll Kit is still a little new, so some
options, such as embedding are not yet available. I am hopeful they will be soon.
Since you cannot see the whole scroll in the frame, if you are interested, the full QM scroll may be viewed
here.
