There are now some very flexible and easy to use tools out there that are free to use with potential benefit to education. Go animate is one such tool. It lets you create simple animations with a variety of characters and prop. You can upload your own images and use them within the animation. In the example below, I uploaded screenshots of our Blackboard implementation and used the character as a virtual tutor in the guide. It was a wet and rainy Saturday afternoon, so quite distracting ;-)

Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com. It's free and fun!
I'm not sure how useful it is, or whether some would find the approach patronising, but it is at least fun and easy. These tools allow for some creativity. I'm going to add the animation to some training courses and see how people take to them.
