Mayer (2009), states "Learner-centered approaches offer an important alternative to technology-centered approaches. Learner-centered approaches begin with an understanding of how the human mind works and ask, "How can we adapt multimedia to enhance human learning?" The focus is on using multimedia technology as an aid to human cognition."
Each of the above-mentioned web sites offer a learner-centered approach as each is focused on how to use multimedia in order to teach children the necessary skills to meet today's academic standards.
