Summary/Abstract: Most people associate learning with the formal education provided by schools, high schools and universities; people expect to receive a “good education” from an early age. Generally speaking, it is true that formal learning, professional courses and training can maximize our potential, they can offer us satisfying and well-paid jobs, and they can amplify our success in the chosen career. However, formal education is not the only type of learning; many other opportunities can develop the knowledge and skills we need throughout life. Lifelong learning is based on creating and maintaining a positive attitude towards a lifelong education for both personal and professional development. Thus, the learning process is defined as an act that takes place throughout life, with or without our will, and involves choosing important information and continuously developing the gained knowledge. An animation is a tool that encourages the lifelong learning process and allows, regardless of age, the possibility to train and enhance learning through cognitive functions. This study aims to analyze the functionality of animation in the learning process, based on each age category. This paper presents the implications of animations and its areas of application. The amplitude of the way animations have started to monopolize fields related to media, gaming and science increases more and more, becoming more complex. In this context it is important to know the necessity of understanding the way animation is perceived in different fields and how useful it is she in transmitting a message. Animations in the learning process are used to highlight different information from a wide range of topics.
