Model answer
Animation controls movement of objects inside a slide (text, image, chart). Transition controls how one whole slide changes to the next.
- Animation types: Entrance (Fly In), Emphasis (Grow), Exit (Fade Out), Motion Path.
- Transition types: Fade, Push, Wipe, Morph.
Advantages:
- Attention and sequence — Bullets appear one by one, audience follows instead of reading ahead.
- Clarity — Complex process shown step-wise (flowchart builds stage by stage).
- Engagement — Subtle motion keeps training lively; charts animate to highlight peak values.
- Professional flow — Smooth transitions signal topic change without abruptness.
- Memory — Visual movement + speech improves recall vs static slides.
Caution for exam: overuse distracts — use consistent, minimal effects in official presentations.
