Richard E. Mayer's set of principles outlining multimedia learning serves as a guide for structuring multimedia components to enhance learning outcomes.
Mayer posits that individuals possess distinct channels for processing auditory and visual information simultaneously.
Recognizing the finite capacity of individuals to absorb information at any given moment, the theory acknowledges the constraints on cognitive resources.
The multimedia learning theory advocates for active learner engagement, emphasizing participation in the learning process rather than passive reception of information.
Building upon these assumptions, Mayer delineates 12 principles of multimedia design, serving as a valuable checklist for designers aiming to optimize the educational experience with multimedia.
Coherence
Signaling
Redundancy
Spatial Contiguity
Temporal Contiguity
Segmenting
Pre-training
Modality

Cognitive Processing that does not serve the instructional goal and is caused by poor instructional design
Cognitive Processing that is required to represent the material in working memory and is determined by the complexity of the material
Deep cognitive processing including organizing and integrating the material
Effective instructional design depends on
techniques for reducing extraneous processing, managing essential processing, and fostering generative processing.
