Multimedia is the presentation of information using a combination of text, audio, graphics, video and animation. There are two types of interactivity in multimedia - linear interactivity where the user passively receives content, and non-linear interactivity where the user can control the sequence. Non-linear multimedia allows two-way communication while linear does not. Hardware and software tools can be used to produce multimedia content. The production process involves analysis, design, implementation, testing 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.
