Because of the epidemic, global network development has become more and more advanced from the “Top 300 Tools for Learning 2021”, as we can see that multimedia has become more and more popular. The multimedia is extensive. Except for the online Learning tool, we are using online delivering meals, uber, virtual currency, etc. In the future, multimedia will become more and more interactive. In addition, the interactive and multimedia promoted the interaction and communication between people or between people and machines. Take iPhone’s smartphone as an example; Siri facilitates the interaction between humans and machines. Before the epidemic, I had only had one experience of learning online for six months. I like online learning because I can replay the points I review countless times, mainly if the teacher provides a video recording.
To help participants learn more effectively, we can use the non-digital interactive activities, including Q&A sessions, pair, share, incident process, and so on; the digital interactive activities include PowerPoint, video recording, and so on.
Interactive and multimedia learning fundamentals are designed to make learning more dynamic through modern instructional media and tools. One can achieve optimal education results through multimedia teaching and learning. Multimedia teaching and learning are diverse. For example, it transforms the traditional text-based education model into a new education and learning model through images, videos, graphics, and other media resources. Multimedia teaching is more interactive, engaging, etc. than traditional text-based teaching.

Hi Yiting, I like your page. I agree with you that multimedia will become more impactive on our life in the future. I also believe that digital tools help to connect people with not only people but also technologies. Social media also makes sharing and exchanging information easier. Similar to you, I also like online learning because it not only enables me to receive and reply to messages timely but also allows me to double-check content for avoiding misunderstanding.
After reading your post, my new thought is that the epidemic has witnessed the development of multimedia, and it is a new beginning. However, in the face of the inevitable disaster, the traditional multimedia seriously hit. Let me guess, maybe in the next few decades, it will be replaced. Indeed, new media leads people to feel the most safe and convenient interaction ability. But on the other hand, people may lose some basic skills. For example, with the increase of online interaction, people have less face-to-face communication, which may be terrible for real social skills. There is no denying that we need to embrace the changes in our lives as well as the risks involved.
