  This website offers multimedia curricular resources across all subject areas and grade levels. Its interactive tutorials are engaging, and have great potential for enhancing teaching results through greater information retention and knowledge construction by students. Designed to support multiple learning styles and modalities, the artifacts are reflective of a learner-centered approach view of instruction (Mayer, 2009). Because it features videos and animations that allow for the presentation of content both visually and auditorially, this website takes into account the learners' information-processing activities (Mayer, 2009). This delivery approach is consistent with a cognitive theory of learning.
  
  SuccessMaker
  http://www.successmaker.com
  SuccessMaker features interactive educational games that teachers may use to augment the delivery of their instruction. These multimedia artifacts are interactive, allow students to make connection with their prior knowledge, and they support scaffolding strategies. Moreover, they support differentiated instruction, and allow teachers to guide each individual student on how to best process the information presented. Thus, this website is learner-centered, and supports active cognitive learning based on active instructional methods (Mayer, 2009).
  
  BrainPop
  http://brainpop.com
  The site is an animated educational site that includes over a thousand interactive videos featuring curriculum-based content from various K-12 subject areas. These videos deliver multimedia instructional messages that are presented in conversational style. By delivering multimedia messages in both a visual and auditorial format, these artifacts support students' dual cognitive processing in the working memory (Mayer, 2009). In addition to the instructional videos, which also include close captioning, the site features games and simulations that students can use to reinforce the information featured in the movies. Thus, these multimedia artifacts help learners to organize and integrate new content and prior knowledge (Mayer, 2009). The site promotes a student-centered view and fosters meaningful learning by supporting learners' active cognitive processing (Mayer, 2009).
