Overview
I ran this course for the designers in our department, in two parts: Basic and Advanced. More than 20 designers took it. The goal was to get everyone comfortable adding animation to their own interfaces.
How I ran it
Program. I put the program together myself: the basics of UI animation first, then more advanced techniques, with theory and practice in both parts.
Scripts. I wrote a script for every session.
Live sessions. Each session had examples and hands-on exercises, and I mentored participants.
Feedback. I asked for feedback throughout the course and changed the content based on what people found hard or useful.
On YouTube
Besides the course, I made tutorials on UI animation and released them on YouTube.
