MULTIMEDIA AND ICT

WEB 2.0
- The term Web 2.0 was coined by information architecture consultant Darcy DiNucci in 1999
and predicted the influence it would have on public relations. It was later popularized by
O'Reilly Media during the Web 2.0 Conference in 2004.
- Web 2.0 is the second generation of the World Wide Web. It focuses on the web as a platform
and offers more opportunities for user-generated content, social networking, and
interactivity. It is the World Wide Web as it is used today.
Interactivity
- Interactivity refers to the capability of a system or platform to respond to user input and
provide two way communication experience. It allows users to actively engage with digital
content, manipulate elements, and receive real-time feedback or responses

Concept
- Web 2.0 is an interactive and collaborative web platform that allows users to create, share,
and interact with content.
- Interactivity and Rich Content are closely intertwined in the context of Web 2.0. Rich
content enhances user engagement, encourages user-generated content, and facilitates
social interaction. Interactivity, in turn, complements rich content by providing users with
opportunities to actively participate, collaborate, and personalize their online experiences.
Together, these elements håve transformed the web into a dynamic and interactive platform
where users can contribute, comment, and engage with content in a more meaningful way.
- Rich Content in the Online Environment and the User Experience, Multimedia and
Interactivity and Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and User Participation in the Web.
- The user experience serves as a tool to measure the usefulness of a product or service. It is
his behavior as a person towards the application or product that evaluates through his
reaction while using the product.

Basic Elements of Multimedia

and TIFF. Images can also be interactive like buttons, navigation menus, and backgrounds.

video formats. Video can be embedded within the content or linked stored outside the
content.

- Aids interactions with users, it can also be added as a background. MP3, WMA, Wave, MIDI,
and RealAudio are standard audio formats. Audio can be embedded or streamed.
Animation

animation formats are FLV, SWF, and ActionScript codes for animated and interactive effects.
