What is Multimedia?
Multimedia is generally understood to be media that combines two or more media, such as sound, single display, video, animation or interactive content. Multimedia can be used in mathematics education in any of these forms. Examples can be found in the form of videos, games, interactive quizzes and animations, which may also be interactive.
In contrast, a media that uses only one form is not considered to be multimedia. So a static or movie picture without sound, or a piece of music, is not understood to be an example of multimedia.
