Technology is influencing numerous industries in the 4.0 era, including education. To achieve educational goals, providing suitable learning materials and learning media are all necessary to help students to learn optimally both in self-learning and in the classroom. The use of interactive learning media is a viable option to provide students with learning materials that are in line with the current development of technology. Interactive Learning Media is a multimedia-based tool that may be used to describe messages or information from teachers to students in which active two-way communication takes place between multimedia and users (students) to facilitate the learning process. This study is aimed at knowing students’ perspectives on the use of interactive learning media using Articulate Storyline 3 (AS3) in English subjects at Vocational High School (VHS). A descriptive method, with a purposive random sampling of students of the Multimedia program from the state Vocational High School 12 Malang, was used.
