How Do You Create An Interactive Timeline?
Interactive timelines can be the perfect way to relate a large amount of information in an easily comprehensible format to your audience–particularly when a subject has a strong chronological element. Depending on your skill level with various software tools, making an interactive timeline can be as easy as inputting your information into a web application or creating your own custom graphics in a program such as Adobe Flash. Organize your timeline data. Determining how many points you have in your timeline will help you visualize how large it will need to be and how it should be displayed. Some more sophisticated timeline software allows for the use of supplementary data upload, such as pictures, audio, or even video clips. Choose a timeline program.
