The topic by itself is too interesting to discuss. Some of us are actually following it, for others here is this post which throws light on this beautiful form of learning. Every subject in the educational field has got its own domain of knowledge. The knowledge of each subject is inculcated into student's mind through books, audio clips and video strips. But, in our country education is mostly text oriented with exception on some parts where audio and video content may be used.
Plunging into the topic, animating what you learn is nothing but remembering what you read or hear as a sequence of events. When you study some complex text, say about psychology of human beings, it would be very hard to remember the text as such and may lead to easy deletion from memory. On the contrary, if the psychology note describes different characteristics of humans and if the student imagines these features in terms of pictures of human faces showing similar characteristics then it would never be forgotten. Similar justification applies all science subjects like Physics, which of course requires lot of imagination, Biology, Chemistry and Math.
Engineering could also be made so enthusiastic if one studies everything in correspondence to real world happenings. A good example of one such methodology is the object oriented programming in computer science, wherein the real world objects are converted into logical objects into the system. Such is the educational process and it would be highly successful with much more animation being done in remembering things. Animated learning also greatly helps in remembering what you hear for a longer period than just remembering things as such, particularly when the listening period is short and the content you hear is complex. Competitive exams that have listening skills test how accurate the students are in recollecting what they hear. Under these circumstances it is better to form still images of what we hear and believe me this surely helps you score better than taking notes of what you hear! So, animated learning is a magical tool that helps you learn better, faster and more importantly retain whatever you learn for longer time!!
