Multimedia: Of or relating to the combined use of several media (text, graphics, animation, video, sound, speech)

Animation: The act, process, or result of imparting life, interest, spirit, motion, or activity

Animate: To make, design, or produce (a cartoon, for example) so as to create the illusion of motion.

Interactive: Of or relating to a program that responds to user activity

"The levels of interactivity range from "object interactivity", where the system responds to a mouse click by playing a sound or displaying an image, to a form of interactivity which allows the user to play a role in a simulated environment, and where input from the user provides the opportunity to experience changes in the environment that result from the manipulation of conditions."
