Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

The Responsible Curriculum Canvas is a practical tool to help you bring AI into your teaching thoughtfully, fairly, and in a way that's grounded in what your students actually need.

Working through it helps you make deliberate, defensible choices about AI rather than reacting task by task, and will help to reduce student anxiety from unclear policies, protecting students who don't have equal access to AI tools or fluent English, and reducing your reliance on unreliable detection tools. The result is a curriculum that uses AI responsibly and inclusively.

This isn't about policing students or banning AI. It's about designing your curriculum so AI supports learning rather than undermining it.

The canvas is made up of nine connected blocks, flowing from understanding your cohort, through assignment design and academic oversight, to clear communication with students, all grounded in student voice. Use it as a starting point for conversations with your team, and revisit it as your modules evolve.

This resource was developed with support from a Teaching Excellence Project (TEP), which funds research into the development and support of innovative learning and teaching across the university. We're grateful to Digital Epix for their support in shaping this work.
