Interactive Multimedia refers to any kind of user input

including typing commands or clicking the mouse which

results in computer application displaying multimedia

images, text, videos, sounds, animations and still images. It

has an ability to give the learners a combination of the

audio visual power of television, the publishing power of the

printing press and interactive power of the computer.

It is better to give an explanation in multimedia content

forms, eg, words and pictures, than words only and that

explanation and the multimedia forms that company the

explanation must be presented alongside each other not in

separate pages. Voice narrations to explanations, not only

on screen text, must be provided.

Students who listened to a narration explaining how a

bicycle tire pump works while also viewing a corresponding

animation generated twice as many useful solutions to

subsequent problem solving transfer questions than did

students who listened to the same narration without

viewing any animation (Mayer & Anderson, 1991, 1992).

students given multimedia explanations are able to build

two different mental representations - a verbal model and a

visual model--and build connections between them.

Interactive multimedia allows learners to test themselves

for prior knowledge before they go to the actual classroom.

This reduces time for teaching and encourages knowledge

retention.

Intuitive and user friendly multimedia application encourage

learner participation and learning experience.

With multimedia, users become participants in an exciting

experience involving the sensory modalities of sight, sound

and touch, all of which naturally facilitate learning (Khoo

Cheng Choo – National University of Singapore).
