Understanding kinematics remains challenging for many high school students because the topic requires learners to interpret and relate multiple forms of representation, including verbal explanations, mathematical equations, graphs, and motion visualizations. Although Articulate Storyline has been widely used to develop digital learning media, studies focusing on high school kinematics while comprehensively evaluating the product in terms of validity, practicality, and effectiveness remain limited. This study aimed to develop an Articulate Storyline-based interactive learning media for kinematics using the ADDIE instructional design model. The product was validated by three subject-matter experts and three media experts. Its practicality was evaluated by one physics teacher and 32 tenth-grade students, while its effectiveness was examined using a pretest-posttest control group design involving 62 students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and normalized gain (N-gain). The developed learning media achieved a content validity score of 90.7% and a media validity score of 88.9%, both categorized as very valid. The practicality evaluation indicated that the media was very practical, with teacher and student practicality scores of 90.0% and 93.9%, respectively. The effectiveness evaluation showed that the experimental group achieved a high N-gain score of 0.72, whereas the control group obtained a moderate N-gain score of 0.58, indicating greater learning improvement among students who used the developed media. These findings demonstrate that the Articulate Storyline-based interactive learning media is valid, practical, and effective for improving students' conceptual understanding of kinematics and can serve as an alternative digital learning resource for senior high school physics instruction.
