  I have chosen to develop a multimedia workshop on the topic of "How to use the SmartBoard" for a group of nursing educators at a rural university. Recently, the nursing chair at the university submitted a request for a SmartBoard to be placed in each of the nursing lecture halls. None of the current nursing staff have ever used this type of technology. The web sites that I have chosen include artifacts for active learning. I have identified the active engagement of each website as focusing on behavioral or cognitive activity. Mayer (2009) stated that multimedia is a tool to enhance learning and I have identified which website uses technology- centered or learner-centered multimedia design.
  
  Multimedia Artifacts Websites:
  
  http://www.ehow.com/how_4964345_use-smart-board-classroom.html
  This website presents step by step how to use a SmartBoard in the classroom. The active engagement focuses on behavioral activity because the learner is able to follow the instructions as they read them on the screen. The learner may follow the steps to turn on the SmartBoard, align and orient, use SmartBoard pens to write notes, and to save the notes with screen capture. This is a technology-centered approach to learning. The learner would be cognitively active while listening to the narrator, and behaviorally active while following the tutorial instructions (Mayer, 2009).

  This website offers a complete SmartBoard tutorial. The active engagement focuses on cognitive activity because the learner is listening to the narrator describe and demonstrate how to work the technology as he moves from screen to screen in the video. The learner does not interact with the instructor and this tutorial uses a technology-centered approach to learning. The tutorial is not interactive. The learner would be cognitively active as they were listening and trying to make sense of the presentation (Mayer, 2009).

  This website presents several educators demonstrating how "easy" the SmartBoard is to use. The different narrators are demonstrating different things that the Board can do and how they engage students in the learning process. The active engagement focuses on cognitive activity because the learner is listening while the material is being presented. This tutorial is not interactive. This is technology-centered multimedia design. The learner would be cognitively active, using prior knowledge to make sense of the presentation (Mayer, 2009).
