EDU652 - Absorb Activity

I learned about absorb activities this week.  Absorb activities can be in the form of PowerPoint presentations, storytelling, readings, demonstrations and field trips and are designed to inform and inspire learners. 

William Horton, the author of E-Learning by Design, (2006), provides many examples of absorb activities and recommends various authoring tools.  I decided to use Articulate as this is a presentation tool being used by Dr. Jamsa and I found it very easy to use.  I provided a link to my Absorb Activity on this blog.
