This website is the training search site for eInstruction Interwrite tablet and CPS tools and software. It includes tutorials on various elements involved in using the tools along with video demonstrations, state standards implementation, assessment, and collaboration links to help educators effectively implement the technology in the classroom. Mayer (2009) categorizes multimedia design into two approaches- a technology-centered approach and a learner-centered approach. I believe this artifact could fall under both approaches to some degree. The technology-centered approach of this artifact is the "cutting-edge advances in multimedia technology." (Mayer, 2009 p. 10) The Interwrite tablet (Mobi) and CPS are the cutting-edge technologies that can provide the latest technology for teachers to use in the classroom. However, I feel, the site provides a stronger learner-centered approach with its design as the goal of the site is to aid human cognition and enhance human performance. (Mayer, 2009 p. 13)

CBT is a great source for development online assessments. The site is geared towards grades k-12 and basic adult education. One think that stands out about CBT is its Assessment Glossary. The glossary is a guide in understanding and developing a assessment strategy that fits your needs.

This is an example of LiveBinder, a great resource collection tool. This particular binder has tabs, which indicate collections of resources, for different age ranges and one for parents and teachers, too. The resources range from tours to case studies to interactive websites and videos.
