    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

    The W3C's introduction to HTML which is the markup language my participants will have to be familiar with prior to attending my workshop. The reason why I picked the W3C tutorial is because it is guaranteed to be compliant with the XHTML standards that are crucial to the success of the workshop. W3C is the consortium that upholds the standards of web design

Center for Universal Design - 0 views

  •  
    The Center for Universal Design website of the College of Design of NC State University claims to be designed to promote accessible and universal design in housing, commercial and public facilities, outdoor environments, and products. Though, it's not about web design per se, covers nonetheless the essentials of what I want faculty to understand about Universal Design in creating their websites. The multimedia artifact on this page is picture and text but it is presented in a way that engages the learner. The headings are reasonably big and color coded. The images are relevant and positioned in a manner that facilitates learning without focusing the learner's attention too much on the graphics. I would say that this workshop is also learner-centered.

World Wide Access: Accessible Web Design - 2 views

    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.

Preparing InDesign files for Accessibility - 0 views

    Although the tutorial presented on this website is from the vendor of the technology being used, the focus is definitely on the subject of concern: accessibility. The site contains a wide-ranging series of tutorials, demos and discussions about the fundamental techniques and best practices for making PDFs, websites and RIAs compliant with the latest Accessibility standards. The narrator is very good at calling the attention of the learner on how to use the technology to solve the accessibility issue as opposed to bragging about the functionality of the tool. This is indeed a learner-centered approach.
