Morphology
interactive + multimedia + system
The phrase is fully compositional: 'interactive' (allows user responses) + 'multimedia' (combination of text, audio, video, graphics) + 'system' (a collection of components) yields a system combining multimedia elements that users can interact with. This noun phrase follows regular English compounding/compositional patterns and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Interactive multimedia system combines two simple ideas: interactive, which means you can 'choose' or 'control' what happens, and multimedia, which means 'many media' like text, sound, and video. Imagine a museum screen you touch to play a video or hear audio and you will see why the phrase means a system that mixes different media you can interact with.
