and hyperlinks. This designation contrasts with
the broader term multimedia, which may
include non-interactive linear presentations as
well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field
of electronic literature. The term was first used
in a 1965 article written by ted nelson.
Hypermedia reading texts can be
purchased or prepared so that students
can click on unfamiliar words or phrases in
a foreign language and then access all
the information needed to understand the

MULTIMEDIA
It is content that uses a combination of
different content form such as text, audio,
images, animations, video and interactive
content. Multimedia contrasts with media that
use only rudimentary computer displays such as
text-only or traditional forms of printed or
hand-produced material.
In education, multimedia is
used to produce computer-
based training courses and
reference books like
encyclopedia and almanacs. A
CBT lets the user go through a
series of presentations, text
about a particular topic, and
associated illustrations in
various information
formats. Edutainment is the
combination of education with
entertainment, especially
multimedia entertainment.
