Interactive Media:

At the forefront, interactive media allows users to get involved in the type of media that is presented. As simple as one click or one tap to get to where you need, social media for one is a place that many people use either for entertainment or news, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc… It really is a place that allows it’s users to look for what they need with their own inputs.

Multimedia:

In modern day, multimedia is a communicative strategy to spread information out to the community. Very commonly will I be seeing advertisements being used to market products or services. This is also due to the growing trend of people using social media which allows for advertisements to be very successful. For example, before watching a YouTube video or such, it’s quite likely that an advertisement will take place prior to the video.

Interactive Multimedia:

In terms of interactive multimedia, this reminds me of a co-op work term at Fraser Health Authority(FHA) where the staff (not limited to FHA) uses a training site called Learninghub. This training hub allows staff to register and go through any existing online training course while actively engaging the user to provide inputs in quizzes. In these courses, there are often a sequence of a video with sound, a small slide deck with text and images, and quizzes for you to input/test your understanding. Feedback is provided after each quiz/at the end of the training course, and a certificate is also provided for completing and passing the training course.
