    This website is a simple explanation to what blogs are. It uses a rollover technique in which the user mouses over the question and the answer appears on the side. The technology is simple and would not distract the user which would make it learner centered. "Multimedia learning refers to learning from words and Pictures"(Mayer, 2009, p.3), This site is a clear reflection on what Mayer plans on using multimedia learning.

This website is learner centered because they can navigate through this site to what is important to them. Mayer states " multimedia designs that are consistent with the way the human mind works are more effective in fostering learning than those that are not." (Mayer, 2009, p. 13).
