Multimedia piece is a broad term that refers to many types of communication. For example, an intranet-based training course, an interactive kiosk, an online magazine, and a computer simulation of industrial equipment are all multimedia pieces. Their common multimedia trait is the ability to orchestrate media objects--such as graphics, sound, digital movies, or a set of instructions--in response to changing conditions such as the user's choices and the amount of time that passes.
The assembling of multimedia into a functioning piece is known as authoring.
