This article presents a novel pedagogy - progressive interactive learning strategy (PILS). Experimental students design an animation applet illustrating elusive sections of the high voltage engineering course for undergraduates in electrical engineering progressively building on an applet made by the last class. These students indicate and modify the flaws of the animation made by the last class. Additionally, the applets are deployed in classroom instruction and generate critical thinking and discussion throughout the entire class, improving the learning environment for all. Visualisation enhances the students'ability to grasp fundamental concepts and to achieve a higher level of understanding. After the class, a questionnaire about what students have learned from the animation and what should be improved is collected. The students learn how to execute a research programme, understand course content better and increase their critical problem-solving skills. Feedback and assessment indicate that this approach is not only helpful in expanding the faculty's pedagogical research, but also benefits the students.
