As someone who is keen on making effective and involving presentations, you might enjoy reading this interesting article about Levels of Interactivity in Presentations on http://interactivityworld.blogspot.com. In this article, the writer defines following as levels of interactivity in a presentation:
Levels of interactivity in presentations:
Level 0
Text Bullets and Pictures
Level 1
Transitions, Build-ups, Effects
Level 2
Enhanced Internal and External Navigation
Level 3
Basic Interactivity (Questions, polls, Quizzes)
Level 4
Essential Interactivity
Level 5
Advanced Interactivity

PowerPoint offers Level 0 and Level 1 interactivity. There are some tools which possibly offer some help with Level 2 and Level 3 interactivity. However, it is hard to include Level 4 and Level 5 interactions without some knowledge of VBA or Flash programming.

Good News! Now you have tools like
Raptivity Presenter and YawnBuster to help you add Level 4 and Level 5 interactivity to your presentations quickly and easily - no programming required.
