In this session, we describe guidelines for creating educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) build on multimedia design principles and their underlying cognitive processing components, using the River City MUVE as a case study. We first examine River City through the lens of a cognitive overload scenarios, offering examples of how the current design may contribute the learner cognitive overload. Next we describe design solution we are implementing and extrapolate generalized design principles from educational MUVEs.
