1. CHAPTER 2: CATEGORIZATION OF MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION
Categorization of multimedia divided into two categories:
1. Linear
active content progresses without any navigational control for the viewer such as a cinema presentation.
2. Non-linear
content offers user interactivity to control progress as used with a computer game or used in self-paced computer based training. Hypermedia is an example of non-linear content. Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded. A recorded presentation may allow interactivity via a navigation system. A live multimedia presentation may allow interactivity via an interaction with the presenter or performer.

2. Linear presentation
CINEMA PRESENTATION
A movie theater (also called a cinema, movie house, film house, film theater or picture theater) is a venue, usually a building, for viewing film.
Most but not all movie theaters are commercial operations catering to the general public, who attend by purchasing a ticket. The movie is projected with a movie projector onto a large projection screen at the front of the auditorium. Most movie theaters are now equipped for digital cinema projection, removing the need to create and transport a physical film print.

3. HYPERMEDIA PRESENTATION
Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of electronic literature.

4. COMPUTER BASED TRAINING PRESENTATION
E-learning is the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. E-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual education opportunities and digital collaboration.
Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. It can be self-paced or instructor-led and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio.
