3. Definition of Interactive
Allowing a flow of information between the computer user and the computer that responds to the computer users
inputs. It’s kind of like controlling something or using something. Interactive features also means interacting with
something like an IPad, for example when you read a e-brochure and you click some of the links which means your
interacting with it.
Interactive can also mean a connection like an internet connection. You use cables or wife to get internet so you can
interact with programs such as reading e-magazines.
4. Interactive features with Audio
Audio is sound that is transmitted using sound
waves so you can hear the sound. We use
sound to communicate with others, and at
educational ways like learning. An example of
audio would be e-newspapers when you can
click a certain text and a robot like voice would
read it out for you. This is good because not
everyone can see very well or if they have bad
eye site or maybe they learn better when
someone reads something to them.
5. Advantages and Disadvantages with
Interactive Audio
Some people may not have the best eye site
so they would have to listen other than
reading a e-newspaper.
Some people may find listening an easier
way of reading or just learning maybe when
they read they won’t remember everything.
Listening other than reading might be a less
of a fuss since you have to zoom in and out
on the newspapers text.
Some people might not use audio correctly
for example when on the bus and someone
doesn’t have the headphones on and plays it
out loud.
The connection speed on the site isn’t the
best when you want to listen to the audio
since it can take a while for it to load.
They voice of the robot might not read it
properly like mispronounce words and read
it verbally not in a tune. Which might bore
you.
AdvantagesDisadvantages
6. Interactive features with Graphics
Graphics is something to do with pictures,
designs and art work. If graphics wasn’t use in
texts or digital texts it would be really boring
reading a magazine and it had no pictures it
would be boring. E-comics is an example of
graphics since they put pictures in the comic
and sometimes they put gif pictures into
comic which makes the comic stand out a lot
more and keep the reader intimated to read a
lot more. These images can show cool little
scenes like a moving punch which is really
nice!
7. Advantages and disadvantages with
Interactive Graphics
Disadvantages Advantages
Some people may say that digital graphics
take a while to make since you have to make
decisions for the colours, layouts and
materials and make gifs which take time and
a lot of work and maybe money.
It may cost more money to make because to
make a good comic that stands out digitally
which you would need to pay a good comic
maker a decent amount of money.
Their may be error when you try to print out
your finished master piece.
You can make pictures stand out a lot more
and add gifs which are moving pictures
which you can’t do on a normal comic and
add more features to it.
It wouldn’t take up physical space in your
house.
You can make comics have moving pages
like texts popping up at the right time and
mouths syncing in with the text like their
saying it but a gif.
You can draw it on the computer and then
print it out which is easier than doing the
drawing physically.
8. Interactive features with Video
Video is something you see and hear if the
video has sound. Video is also used in
different things like films and videos. Pretty
much a visual image we see that moves. An
example of this would be a digital poster that
advertises different things like McDonalds
which makes the person viewing the digital
poster like it more since it can light up and be
colourful. This example is a straight outta
Compton poster which you click and it takes
you to a trailer of the movie.
9. Advantages and Disadvantages with
interactive Video
Some people may be blind so they won’t be
able to see the film. Pretty much visual aid.
Adds an extra dimension to the info and
some people might not have the best
imagination so theyd rather watch a video.
Allows readers to see what is being
described like extra evidence that it actually
happened.
Maybe your watching a film and you want to
go back or forward or pause it or stop it you
can do that.
Some videos may be poor quality since you
would need Wi-Fi or very good internet
connection to watch videos HD.
Disadvantages Advantages
10. Interactive features with Links
Links are something that you click and it
opens up another article or website, Links are
also use to advertise. Links are e-texts
because you can’t have them on print based
texts and also sometimes if you read an e-
magazine you will find them advertising
something like clothes if you click the picture
it take to their website and you can find out
about their website. In this example you can
see a magazine that has a picture of Adidas
you can click to it and it takes you to JD
Sports.
11. Advantages and Disadvantages with
Interactive Links.
Irrelevant material like the wrong links that
send you to something you weren’t
interested in the first place. Like false
advertisement just posting links to advertise
different things.
Sometimes your browsing website and you
get pop-ups which take you to different
websites or sometimes harmful links.
Some links you click could contain malware
and viruses for example the site might site
“Download the file, it’s safe!” but if you do
you might get a virus.
Additional sources of info for example if the
reader wants to find more about the text the
writer said he can post a link so maybe back
up their point or just make the reader get
more info about the text like a footwear
company Nike.
It’s easy to navigate to different websites
since you don’t have to type the link up or
waste time finding the website the link
straightaway sends you there.
Links are easy to make since every website
you make it comes with a link and it’s easy to
advertise your website.
Disadvantages Advantages
12. Interactive features with Navigation tools
Navigations tools means like controlling something
for example an e-book. In this example I am showing
that navigation tools are used in e-books you can go
forward and back, go full screen before maybe
buying the book reading the preview. Navigation
tools are used in electronic products mainly in like e-
newspapers, e-comics , e-books etc. Navigation tools
are vey helpful because it helps you to navigate a lot
easier.
Go back a
page.
Go forward
a page.
Go full
screen.
13. Combined Interactive features.
AudioGraphics Page NavigationVideoLinks
Combined features are all the features we use for the interactive features. They were made
to make it a lot easier if we didn’t have Interactive features we would rather use print based
texts. Some people need these interactive features when travelling since it’s smaller and
more efficient than having the print based texts because they take up more space. On a
small device like a phone you can store a lot of e-books, e-comics, e-newspapers etc.
Interactive features were also made for some people with different abilities like some may
learn better while reading, watching videos or just listening. Which is very helpful for the
people with different abilities.
