Hi, Kynn I was using interactivity as a general term rather than implying multimedia. My assumption is that people usually learn better when there is a feedback mechanism which implies interactivity. Also I was assuming that if a person is using a web browser, then they are somewhat comfortable using computer technology. I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear about my assumptions.
