Design

====The **knowledge domain** of this tutorial is the use of iPads in Preschool Special Education classrooms. The **targeted learning process** is **cognitivism**. The learners are putting new information together to form an understanding of how to incorporate the iPad into their everyday instruction. This would be considered the application level of the cognitive domain. The learners are going to actively apply their new knowledge in their classrooms. ====

====The **graphic design** of the tutorial site was created to encourage active processing. The site’s color scheme was made to be attractive, not distracting. The layout was created to be easily accessible. Easy navigation is key to encourage the learner’s active processing of the instruction. This tutorial is an example of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning because it is a combination of meaningful words and pictures that is designed the way the brain works. I wanted to keep the user in mind when considering the **user-interface**. I also kept everything consistent on the site to reduce any cognitive load. While designing instruction, I wanted to start with the most basic functions of the iPad so when the learners interacted with the iPad for the first time, they would know exactly where to start. The **content** used for my tutorial provides dual channels. For each individual tutorial, there is a text version and a video version. Text and video target visual learners and the audio in the video target auditory learners. ====
