A multimedia presentation is defined as the technique used to present a topic by using multiple methodologies, visual, acustic and written, to better imprint a message and information on an audience. Multimedia is literally defined as the use of multiple technologies of communication, called media, to present or represent a topic and improve the level of retention of the given information and message. It is highly used in education because it allows for the use of visual and textual methodologies that increase the level of understanding and also the retention of information and minimize the loss of focus in the audience. Power Point, and other computer programs that are far more advanced, allow the use of multimedia by combining the technologies into one presentation, instead of having to have them on multiple and varied places. A multimedia presentation, then, is the combination of use of communicative techniques that ensure the full exposure of the audience to a message.
