Timeline
Main Uses
The Timeline object is a tool that allows you to easily present the history or development of events by just typing in the history dates, history event headlines, and inserting text, links, media (only links to Wikipedia, YouTube videos, XTM, Google maps, Flickr, and SoundCloud are currently supported).
Learners can view the entire timeline with event headlines and scroll to search and locate a specific event or period. The timeline can be zoomed out or zoomed in, allowing learners to see the overall event history or focus on a specific period. Learners can click on each headline to show the content/materials about the event in that period.
A timeline is a great tool for illustrating evolution, historical events, a series of occurrences, or organizational development and growth.
