            Abstract : 
This article highlights the practical experiences acquired in design, realization and implementation of interactive animations for students, located at “eLearn central” an educational portal based on LMS Moodle. Interactive animation presenting a unique motivation tool, in education, increases the interest of students by online communication, illustrative explanations and controlled content. The aim of this work is to attract attention by freely available visualizations and animations, thereby to increase the efficiency of education and to motivate users for further studies.
