When a speaker combines differentdevices or methods of presentation, it becomes a multimedia event.Multimedia describes presentations that use several different devices orpresentation methods to convey information. Another name for multimedia ismedia integration. This type of presentation combines information presentedin a lecture with slide, films, video, transparencies, or other lecture aids. Itmay be reactive for which the audience sits and listens, or it may beinteractive, whereby the audience is participating as well as listening.

They cue each device in sequence and providespecial effects that create dynamic and professional presentations.Computers can also present information as a projection device by projectingan image onto an overhead screen or for direct viewing from the computermonitor. Software or programs are available that allow you to create agraphics presentation with sound and project or display that presentation in aclassroom or briefing environment. Through international electronichookups, briefings can link commands all over the world for direct and livetransmissions.Future developments to exploit the training and briefing capabilities ofcomputers include computer based instruction (CBI). Command ESOs willreceive Navy training material on disks for rapid distribution to the fleet.You will be able to complete training courses at your computer station in thework space. This interactive learning process will have the twofold benefitof improving your computer skills as well as providing immediate feedbackon how well you assimilate the lessons taught in the training program.5-20
