Animated gifs
Gifs are great for quick, visual demonstrations of key concepts or processes, making it easier for learners to grasp and retain information. They capture attention and break down complex actions into simple, repeatable visuals, enhancing understanding without overwhelming the learner. GIFs are also easily embedded into various platforms, offering a lightweight and efficient way to reinforce learning points.

Infographics also enhance engagement by breaking up dense information and making learning more interactive and visually stimulating.
