multimedia

Multimedia is shorthand for ‘multiple media’. For example, the internet is a visual and auditory channel. Visually, this includes text, graphics and photographs. Auditorially, this includes voices and sounds. All together, multimedia can be a singing and dancing show as a movie or animation, as a slide show or as a game.
Television is a multiple media. However, when we watch television, the TV signal is beamed out from a central studio and everyone receives the same signal. It doesn’t matter what you your response to the show that you are watching, everyone receives the same channel.
Watching interactive multimedia is not enough. Being interactive, it begs for your participation and your response counts - you get to say what happens next. In a game you can win or lose, in a tutorial your participation determines your level of learning.
