Abstract: The aim of our research was analysing the animated interactive multimedia learning activities (IMLA) with a Geography/Sciences contents, within the Mathematics and Environmental Exploration digital textbooks for the 2nd grade, edited by the CD PRESS Publishing House in 2014. We conceived an assessment grid focusing a series of features of the respective Geography/Sciences activities: animation type, clarity and relevance of the included images, unfolding speed of the images, manner of realising the unfolding (e.g. zooming), existence of marking (e.g. arrows) and the accordance between image and orally transmitted information (image-oral text simultaneity), information correctness, information load amount, information accessibility, didactic method used, number of tasks, stimulated cognitive processes, and activity duration.
