Tiki-Toki, an interactive timeline creator
Timeline creators
Description: Tiki-Toki is a web-based timeline creation tool for creating interactive multimedia timelines and share them with others. It provides an interface where users can input images, text, audios and video to create timelines and then visualise them in 3D. Tiki-Toki offers a limited free version, but requires users to sign up for an account to create timelines.
Evaluation: Tiki-Toki is a useful tool to create interactive timelines and visually represent events in chronological order. It can be useful for teachers working on historical events, putting together a personal history, or project management. One drawback is that Tiki-Toki’s free version allows creating only one timeline.
Cost: Free with registration + premium plans available
