Interactive video is a type of digital video that supports an element of interaction through gestures, voice, touch or clicks. Audience members are participants and their interaction is vital to the experience.

Video is a foundational tool for e-Learning, and the addition of interactivity adds to its power. An advantage interactive video has over traditional video, which requires no input from the audience, is that it allows for frequent testing. Quizzes can be integrated into the video immediately following new information. The integration of testing into the video provides students with immediate feedback about their understanding and reports can be generated so that the teacher is able to assess where more support is needed.
