Modern Sleek Timer Tool

I created this sleek, phone-like countdown timer for my fellow instructional designers to use in their e-learning projects. It’s perfect for quizzes, timed activities, or pacing learners in tools like Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, or Lectora. The transparent background makes it easy to blend with any course theme or color scheme.

DESCRIPTION

This timer tool helps instructional designers add customizable countdowns to e-learning courses. I picked a sleek, phone-like design to add a cool touch and blend perfectly into any course slide. Just position it where you want, and it fits right in. It’s perfect for timed activities, quizzes, or assessments, and it alerts learners when time’s up. I’ve used this timer in instructor-led courses, and the facilitator loved how it kept everyone on track during timed activities. Just embed it, and you’re good to go!
