This paper discussed the integrating animation with experiential learning approach to enhance students’ engagement in learning process. Today’s young generation is expressed a strong preference for the digital world. Within the educational sphere, the development of technologies is defined as a powerful tool to create a huge number of various learning materials. From this view, the use of multimedia technologies is becoming more common in education as well as providing an extremely interesting atmosphere. In line with this, animation has been introduced for the education system since it is a part of students’ daily life. Consequently, the animation must be integrated with the pedagogy such as experiential learning because the integration to foster students’ engagement in the learning process. Indeed, experiential learning is imbued with students’ experience. Experiential learning is a phase where learning should be student-centred because students engaged in direct contact with learning as well as experience that evokes interest in students. This paper discussed the students’ engagement was boosted by the integration of animation and experiential learning.
