The production of interactive multimedia applications within the framework of media integration normally takes place as a sequence of operation steps:

Research and specification of the contents, graphic design,layout, technological design
Creation and editing of the multimedia elements
Combination and organization of the multimedia elements
Creation of interactivity and special functions by coding
Evaluation and error location
Technological preparationfor the publication
Publication and Dispersion
Maintenance, servicing, care and further development, after-sales service, hotline...

In the case of non interactive projects (for example television show, straight linear
presentation), the steps of ‘Programming’, ‘Debugging...’ and ‘Service...’ can be
omitted partly or entirely.
