Abstract

Conclusion. Interactive animated e-books offer strong pedagogical value in digital education. Their success depends on design frameworks focused on interactivity, user experience, and adaptive learning. Wider adoption requires affordable development, educator training, and AI-driven personalization. Future studies should assess long-term impact and accessibility in diverse, low-resource contexts.

Keywords: Interactive animated e-books, digital learning, learner engagement, cognitive development, adaptive learning, gamification.
