Multimedia combines text, audio, graphics, video and animation to present information. It can be interactive in linear or non-linear ways. Linear interactivity is passive while non-linear allows user control of content sequence. Hardware and software are needed to produce multimedia, including text, graphic, audio, video and animation editors. The production process involves analysis, design, implementation, testing, evaluation and publishing phases.

4. LINEAR INTERACTIVITY
In linear interactivity, the user interacts with the multimedia
application without controlling the progress of the content. In
other words, the user is a passive receiver of the multimedia
content most of the time.
NON-LINEAR INTERACTIVITY
Unlike linear interactivity, non-linear interactivity allows the user
to interact with the content according to what the user wants
from the content. In other words, it is a two-way communication.
