Interactive multimedia “ allows two-way interaction with multimedia course material, another computer, or another user with direct response to the input, as opposed to one-way communication from TV, video, and other non-responsive media. Interactive attributes commonly include data or text entry, mouse input, touch screens, voice commands, video capture, and real-time interaction”(Schneider, 2006). Interactive multimedia is a very useful multimedia system because it lets the user do things. There are a lot of websites and computer games that uses interactive multimedia which interacts with the user to do the things they want to do.

For most websites, people visit it once or twice then leave. Interactive websites build relationships with your visitors. Instead of only visiting your website once then leaving, you interact with your visitors several times (Drost, 2011). These websites interact with the users that are based on texts or in images that are appealing to them. Visitors of the particular interactive websites are allowed to make actions that are related to the content of the website. Also, if that website has an interesting game, they are allowed to play that game by moving different objects.

An interactive website enables you to start a conversation with your customer that develops into a relationship (Drost, 2011). Interactive websites can easily interact to people who are fond of using the internet most of the time. Using interactive websites helps the people who are searching for schools that offer courses and other programs they are interested.

You can have access to any information through internet. Internet is not only a source of information but source of business development as well. If you enjoy so many great benefits from internet, one key to open you to world is creation of website. There are countless options for you to upload a free hosted or highly paid hosting website; all depends on your needs and objectives.

For creating your own website, you will have to contact the cheap web hosting company which will assign you space on their computer for your web site. Then all the files, images and other content will be uploaded on the server. You can find many web hosts on internet (Retrieved from: http://www. hosting2all. com/). Computer and internet is one of the world’s most wonderful influential things. It has become as the quickest source of any information we would want to know.

This truly is the Age of the Internet. Now that increasing numbers of people have Internet access, we are ever more likely to turn to it for shopping, research and information.

This development has not been lost on schools. Not only are many in the UK now using the web to reduce the costs of, for example, staff recruitment, but they are also using it as a tool to market the work they do and the success they achieve. In fact, the latest figures from the DCSF show that in 2003, 57 percent of primary schools, 82 percent of secondary schools and 50 percent of special schools had their own website. Yet it’s not simply about getting a website up there for all to see; it’s as much, if not more, about regular and effective maintenance.

Creating a website for your school offers the world a window on its community and work, in what could be argued to be the most appropriate form for a dynamic educational institution. While a website doesn’t replace your school’s prospectus, it can support it by offering readers heightened depth and scope. But there are certain pitfalls to avoid; a weak website could in fact diminish your public standing and one which does not fully represent what you set out to achieve as a school may simply serve to confuse.

Getting the balance just right is essential if your website is to fully represent your school and reflect your ethos and direction (Becta’s technical advice for schools, 2009). Internet users are now increasing and they use it for shopping, research, and other information they want to know. There are a lot of schools have their own websites. Not only in the UK but also, in the whole world. Every school provides its own website in order for them to use it as a tool for their benefit. Creating a website is not only just creating it, but it should be regularly updated and maintained.

Creating a website for a school is offering everyone to join their community and to know more a lot of information about the school. Any information about the school must be constant and should not be replaced. A weak website doesn’t show the over-all information about the school while a good website should contain all the information that represents the school and the characteristics of it.
