The site presents to teachers the benefits of multimedia in the classroom to engage students and increase retention, as well as for mastery of the Windows movie maker software. The instructional design is very rich with lots of information. According to Mayer (2009), presentation of excessive information does not mean learners are processing them due to the limited capacity of the visual channel. The information is mainly in text format, and it is the technology-centered approach.
The Microsoft Movie maker site provides a brief guide for teachers and also uses dual coding in terms of audio and video information to teach learners how to create movies using sounds, motions, pictures and texts. This is the learner-centered approach and its simplicity of using the various features help learners convey meaning of the instructions. The focus is an aid to human cognition (Mayer, 2009).
The multimedia tutorials provided in this site take learners through the steps of using Windows Movie Maker. It does not have audio but used text and visual effects to guide learners. The tutorials are divided into sub-sections of five series. It is learner-centered as most of the instructions were tailored toward curriculum expectations.
