Advantage/ Disadvantage:
Moovly is a very smooth application to make animated movies for educational purpose (explaining a subject) or adaptive assignment. It can also be used to pitch yourself in a application procedure or to draw attention to a subject. It is easy to learn and has great opportunities. Moovly is an incredibly interactive and easy to use platform tool that can be adapted to best suit the needs of your intended audience. However, audio editing ability is a little limited, but it does also have the ability to record voice overs direct into it, which is nice. But overall, It’s really great for making professional animations for video marketing campaigns, presentation animations, or just having fun making animations for social pages.
Good for Teaching:

Good for Learning:
