The interactive features gives you control over the sites so you can change it to suit your needs the interactive features allows you to zoom in zoom out click on the next page pause a video change the volume and make the video go forward this allows the user or you to have control and do whatever you want Interactive features means a computer interacts with you or the user to obtain information and even relating to a system communications by means of a computer or a television Zooming out/zooming in
- 3. How we can use the features We can use these features on our phones ipads by downloading apps such as books and magazines which will take us to a link once we are in the app we can go to the settings to change the things that we like so it suits us or the user if there is a video about the news or football there will be a link to take us there to a site like YouTube
- 4. Audio/sound An audio represents sound or a audio stream it is used to play back a audio file within the webpage showing gui widget(graphical control element) with play pause and volume controls. This includes sound and moving image with audio you can also listen as you are listening to sound for example on a e- poster where there is an option to listen to a computer read to you. Some people learn best when they are listening and helps people in many ways
- 5. Advantages and disadvantages for audio It helps some people study when they are listening to music You can get easily distracted can be used for blind people Need connection so you can listen Some people might find it easier to listen as if they read they might not remember everything that they read as there could be too much The robot that reads it to you might pronounce words wrong when your trying to listen Some people might not use audio correctly as they don’t have headphones
- 6. Graphics Graphics are visual images or design that you can touch or click on so they can move it around. Graphics is all about design and artwork as without it there wouldn’t be pictures some examples of graphics would be pictures, drawing, maps, and other images an example would be e-newsletter as they have pictures that you can click on that will take you to a link or you can zoom in and out an example would be a newsletter
- 7. Advantages for graphics and disadvantages You can make pictures stand out a lot more by making them move they are called gifs It can cost a lot of money just to make it You can make the pictures of a comic move every time you go on the next page Sometimes when you draw it might not come out the way you want it to and it could also come out in a very bad condition You can draw it on the computer instead of draw it on paper They take time to make as they are digital and they can come out bad
- 8. Links When your on the internet and you see a underlined word that is a link if you were to click on the word it would take you to a new page or site. An example of this would be on a leaflet as they could have there website underlined. The word is underlined in blue that means it will take you to a new site or page explaining what it is
- 9. Advantages and disadvantages for links Its helpful instead of going to the search bar to type what you want Sometimes it can take you to the wrong site or page Its very easy to spot as its underlined Sometimes it doesn’t work They are also useful for sources of information It might bring you on another site that is irrelevant Its easier to navigate and access websites And it will also have the annoying pop up
- 10. Page navigation Page navigation is where you can navigate the page by looking for the arrows on the top or bottom of the page you can click on them so you can go to the next page or the previous page. Sometimes if there is a manual that your reading online you can click next to it to turn to the next page and you can keep doing that which helps to navigate and there are many more buttons that help To go full screen To find an item you want to buy To zoom in and out go to the next page these are all navigation tools
- 11. Advantages and disadvantages of page navigation It gives you quick access to pages Sometime you have to be a subscriber to access the full thing It suits your needs or the users needs so they or you can have control viewing habits Some of the text don’t have the new tools to be able to use the navigation
- 12. Video Video is a moving picture with sound that you can view. A video is something that you can see people normally watch videos to find out what is happening in the world or just to watch at home. You will normally see videos on e- newspapers as they are quite good for videos they also give you lots of detail and it explains a lot more when the video is shown to you or the viewers a video telling us about something and a button to press play
- 13. Advantages and disadvantages for video It can explain more to the user when they are showing the video like educational The video might have poor quality when someone is watching the video It adds extra info and different things online The video might digress when your watching it Allows readers to see what's described when they are watching it There could be graphic contents like adult content
- 14. Combining interactive elements Audio video graphics links page navigation All these elements help each other in different ways these elements are combined to help us so we can use the features to suit our needs or the users needs for example without audio you wont have any sound when your listening to something without videos you cant watch anything and without page navigation you wont be able to control what your doing on the computer. Some people like paper based things like newspapers as they like them but some people access the newspaper on there phone as its digital they like these because they have the control over the e- newspaper and its easier to access and there are videos on the digital version and even links the user can use. Some people learn best by listening to a video and even reading all these features are combined to help us today in our everyday lives when we are watching videos, reading books, and using navigation tools.
