Default What is an "interactive" powerpoint presentation?

I'll speak "authoritatively" as someone who has assigned such things.
Generally, I give more specifics in the assignment, but I generally mean
to include hyperlinks to other slides and possibly to other documents and
Web pages. The idea is to avoid the linear movement from one slide to the
next to the next. This could be for a presenter who might have several
options to follow or for users to sit down in front of the computer to
navigate themselves. I usually show my students a simple presentation
with a title slide and a menu slide. The menu has links to other slides
in the presentation and each of those slides links back to the menu. This
is probably the simplest form of interactive presentation, but MUCH more
is possible.

I have been asked to create an interactive PPT lesson plan (I am a
teacher)presentation with website links. I know how to put links into a
powerpoint, but I am not sure what they mean by interactive other than
someone clicks on the links and the sites come up. Is there more to an
"interactive" presentation than that?
