What is Multimedia?
Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. When you allow an end-user, also known as the viewer, to control what and when the elements are delivered, it is called interactive multimedia. When you provide a structure of linked elements through which the user can navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia.
