I am preparing my Masters Thesis on the use and effectiveness of motion graphics (primarily Flash animation) in the classroom. I am in the preliminary research stage, and working on narrowing my focus. I am leaning toward post-secondary educational uses, but will appreciate any experience or comments received.
UPDATE: I am pursuing an MS in Technical Communication. My primary interest is motion graphic design and implementation. I will probably use PowerPoint as a platform. I will conduct usability testing to assess effectiveness from a learning perspective. I have yet to choose a discipline for my study...
