Multimedia Definition


At the most basic level, multimedia means using more than one media. However, the term “multimedia” can be defined in many more different ways, for example:


  • Multimedia is the combined use of several media, such as movies, slides, music, and lighting, especially for the purpose of education or entertainment (American Heritage Dictionary).

  • Multimedia is any combination of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video delivered to you by computer or other electronic means (Vaughan, 2001).

  • Multimedia is the integration of text, graphics, animation, sound, and video. Today, such integration is accomplished by digitizing different media elements and manipulating them with computer software (Coorough, 2001).
