Key characteristics of digital media


Four modes of participation (Layers of Interactivity in Digital Text’ (Ryan, 2005). The users role in relation to their digital environment:1. Peripheral Interactivity.The user exists outside the environment and all their actions are exploratory,affecting neither the predetermined story or the order of its presentation. 2. Interactivity affecting narrative discourse and presentation of the story. The user still exists outside the environment but their actions direct the order in which the content is shown.3. Interactivity creating variations in a partly predefined story. The user exists in the Environment, playing the role of a character for instance. Their actions progress them along a structured narrative with some freedom of exploration.4. Real Time Story Generation. The user exists totally within the environment andthe story is created in real time partly from the user and partly from the system.
