This is an awesome website with a great multimedia video that is itself conceived with Universal Design principles in mind as the narrator's comments are written at the bottom of the screen for people who might be hearing impaired. The video presentation is geared toward people like me who are passionate about creating accessible faculty websites. The coherent structure of the video promotes active engagement and requires focuses on cognitive activity. In addition, the careful selection of relevant information presented seems to take into account Mayers' limited capacity principle from the cognitive theory of multimedia learning(Mayer, 2009). To me, this workshop is undoubtedly a learner-center approach to learning.

This webinar suggests 10 reasons for incorporating ADA compliance. It provides active learning based on Mayer's dual processing incorporating audio and visual channels. However, the active learning of this presentation is low. Much of the information presented contains extraneous information and this is a very long, slow-moving webcast. Even still, the information contained is useful and appropriate.

This site has it all and at no cost, neither in extraneous processing nor in monetary contribution. It is a very comprehensive site that contains assessment rubrics for every subject including multimedia projects

This is an Educational Technology presentation site that is well designed and formidably appealing. The content is organized in such a way that there is no room for extraneous processing. Great resource!

This site is a complement to the first one as it contains a video tutorial for the visual learners. The narrator has a very casual tone of voice. He is calm and composed. He goes through the tutorial at a very comfortable pace which makes him easy to follow. The learner can pause the video at anytime to practice what they've learned

This is another rubric website. It offers up several categories of pre-created rubrics to choose from to use. I did not particularly find this website extremely helpful because it was not very easily navigated and it provided a lot of extraneous information that needed to be processed in order to get to what you are actually looking for.

This tutorial teaches users how to most effectively use the gallery tool in the SMART software. Most users use the gallery, but do not maximize the effectiveness of this tool. The presenter in the video is a trained SMARTboard trainer and goes through the tutorial at a comfortable pace and allows users to practice as he goes through it. I found this site to be extremely beneficial for all users of SMART software, novice to expert.

This website provides free technology tutorials as well as free lesson plans for teachers, parents, and anyone else who may be interested. The website provides step by step instructions complete with illustrations and graphics to assist the learner in utilizing specific computer programs or utilizing technology in lesson plans. The website is free to users and therefore does have advertising on it but the advertising is not overly obtrusive.

This YouTube site contains multiple short videos about the different tools and aspects of KidPix. It is user-friendly and easy to follow and understand. The videos do not have to be viewed in any particular order thus allowing the user to access just the information they need at that time. The videos are straight-forward and are not cluttered with other "details" as is found in the manual for the program. These videos are a perfect get started quick place to begin.

This serious game was developed to help young children and teenagers learn the in's and out's of plagiarism, citation, and the importance of giving credit to authors for their original thoughts and work.

This overview training video is designed both to help existing users understand how to develop a roleplay simulation in the GoVentures platform, and to introduce novices to overall design processes for developing a role-play simulation.
