Key Concept
What if your teacher asked you to explain your topic to a live audience? For example, you might be asked to share your results with your class, parents, or community members. You could give copies of your essay to everyone, but giving a presentation could make your essay even more engaging.
When you have the opportunity to present your work to a live audience, make the most of it! You can use a multimedia presentation to explain your topic in a way that is entertaining as well as interesting and informative. A multimedia presentation uses words, numbers, symbols, images, audio, and video to explain a topic. It explains your topic in a visual and way and can be interactive.
In most cases, you use a multimedia presentation to help explain your topic to a live audience. The presentation shows and illustrates the main points of your topic. During a presentation, you can interpret the main points, give interesting details, and answer questions from audience members. However, an audience can also view a multimedia presentation like a video.
Specialized applications help you create and deliver multimedia presentations. Presentation applications are software programs that allow precise control over the appearance and timing of a presentation. You need a projection device to display your presentation to an audience. Many kinds of software and hardware can be useful when you work with multimedia.
