Comment
Upon encountering this article, it was evident that both the definition in the article lede and the content of the article were speaking to the topic name of the article from a particular and very specific perspective, namely the cognitive THEORY of said topic. There was pertinent material to that specific perspective in Learning platform that has been looking for a "good home" (that article is being worked toward a merge with VLE). I believe this article is strengthened by this material, BUT a lot of work is needed to tidy up what was here, as well as to clean up what is being brought over. A decision will need to be made subsequently whether this article should be entitled in a way that reflects what it addresses, or whether it is actually yet another fork of VLE (or, alternatively, VLE a fork of this article.) FeatherPluma (talk) 02:54, 26 July 2012 (UTC) Reorganized the page somewhat... someone added a general section at the top of the page. This page was about a specialized form of learning... not just learning--Dlewis3 (talk) 22:12, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I think the "Principles" section of this article needs some updating. I've added an introductory paragraph for this section, and plan to add a little more detail on specific multimedia instructional design principles that are well supported by the literature.WikiWikiRoy (talk) 22:55, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Just added a follow up paragraph expanding on the link between cognitive load theory and the multimedia instructional design principles. Also added short list of example principles.WikiWikiRoy (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Started reorganizing the part of this section that described different principles into a list format and added descriptive detail. Currently, this list contains 5 principles. I plan to add 6 more in the near future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWikiRoy (talk • contribs) 03:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Rename
This article is about multimedia learning theory, not multimedia learning, which is covered in e-learning. I intend to rename, but solicit comments. FeatherPluma (talk) 18:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Renamed. Appropriate redirects added /checked. FeatherPluma (talk) 20:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Tone and style
The article seems overly academic in its style and tone. I'm not entirely sure if the tag I added describes the issue best, but my point is that the article needs to be reworked (IMO) to be reading less like an essay or literature review. Abraxxass12 (talk) 14:57, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Provenance of parts of theories
It would be useful to include historical data around content such as Mayer's CTML theory and when the Pre-training Principle was incorporated. jhengstler (talk) 23:55, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
