Expertise at all 4 levels of Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI)

Level 1 - Passive - The learner is introduced to ideas and conceptual information in a linear format such as a PowerPoint presentation with minimal interactivity.

Level 2 - Limited Participation - The learner is required to recall more information and makes simple responses to instructional clues.

Level 3 - Complex Participation - The learner has increased control over the lesson and makes decisions using varying techniques in response to instructional cues and applies complex information to solve a problem or produce results.

Level 4 - Real-Time Participation - The learner is directly involved in a life-like set of complex cues and responses within a real-time simulated 3D environment. Learners recall large amounts of information and demonstrate specific tasks with measurable results.
