them for?
ANSWER:
-I use online collaborative tools such as Zoom, Google Docs, and sometimes OneDrive
Dropbox Paper. I use Zoom to attend my online classes while I use Google Docs to answer
there my modules or view our modules. Sometimes I use OneDrive and Dropbox Paper to
save my modules in the computer if I want them to access on my mobile phone too.

What’s New

There are various online collaborative tools that a group can use to communicate using
the Internet. Is there multimedia that you can see in the site? What makes it interactive?
ANSWER:
-I see embedded YouTube links whenever I read articles about K-pop topic, sometimes links
of a twitter post too. It makes it interactive in a way that such links can be used to provide
additional information about the topic of an article or a blog, the reader has a choice to
check the embedded links for more information related to the topic. It can also be used as

a shortcut for the readers to access the additional information, which is on the other site,
since the embedded link will automatically show the YouTube video or Twitter post in the
said article or blog you are reading.

What I Have Learned

Instruction: Make a journal to manifest your understanding about the topic. You can start by
following the format below. Write it in a sheet of paper.
I have learned that certain multimedia contents such as videos, images and music
that are uploaded online on any social media platform has interactivity. I was not aware
before that such contents have interactivity between you and your followers. Each content
has numerous purposes, and your followers can interact with the multimedia you have
posted because you want them to.
I have realized that being aware of interactive media as an influencer on social
medias is good knowing that you can use it to communicate with your followers. A two-way
exchanging of information that involved you and your followers. This is particularly
important topic if you want to establish a page or blog, you need to be more aware of how
multimedia and interactivity works.
I will apply all the knowledge I have gained about interactive multimedia if ever in
the future I want to establish a Facebook page or a Twitter account. I can also apply all these
information if I want to write a blog or an article online. Overall, all these information about
interactive media is helpful if you really want to establish yourself as a social media
influencer.

What I Can Do

Go to www.16personalities.com and answer the personality test. Answer the following:

1. What makes the test interactive?
-What makes it interactive is its choices in each question they present. You are
responding to the question using various levels of agree and disagree. It gives you
more option when you are not sure what to answer in a specific question. The
information you give the test can make you more at ease as you answered in an
answer you think is right for the question. In exchange of your answers, the test will
give you a result based on your answers. That summarize how this test is interactive
as you and the test are both exchanging information to give results on both parties.
2. Do you think the site is trustworthy?
-For me personally it is just a test to be honest, sometimes it can be not fully
dependable, but I take this test as a guide to know what kind of personality I have
based on the test’s ways of finding your personality. Other test takers online also
expressed their thoughts about the site of being dependable because of how
accurate the results are. So, I can say that this site is trustworthy enough as a lot of
people have taken the test, more than millions of people I think have taken this test
even celebrities. That is enough to conclude that this site is trustworthy for you to
find out what personality you have.
3. Do you think the result is believable?
-On my results, yes, it is believable. If you answer the questions truthfully, the results
will shock you as the description of the personality is accurate to my personality
right now. Also, according to other test takers their results are also accurate. I think
this test has proven itself as a dependable if we compare the results to the taker’s
real personality, I can say it can be accurate to your personality if you answer the
5
questions truthfully. Also, if you take the test again about a year later, you will
observe it can be different result or still the same. It is because our personalities
changes as time goes by, factors such as life experiences and your surroundings can
change your personality.
4. How does this site come up with the result?
-The site produced the result based on your answers alone, you answer the
questions, and the test will provide a result based on everything you have answered.
That is why it is important for you to answer the questions accurately and without
bias because it will indeed show an accurate result of your personality. This is what
we call a two-way interactivity whereas you and the test exchange information to
achieve a result. You are given various levels of agree and disagree so that you can
have more choices to answer a question when you do not know how to answer it,
this can make produce a more accurate result.
