The findings show significant positive outcomes, including heightened engagement through increased student interaction with digital resources and improved learning outcomes manifested in enhanced academic performance. However, persistent challenges encompass technological barriers and digital literacy disparities. The research underscores the importance of tailored strategies to optimize interactive multimedia integration in LMS platforms. The findings bring crucial implications for enhancing equitable engagement and learning outcomes in Islamic Higher Education. This study provides specific strategies for optimizing LMS-based interactive multimedia to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes in Islamic Higher Education.
