Principle 4: Perceptible information
The instruction communicates necessary information effectively to the student, regardless of ambient conditions or the student's sensory abilities.
Principle 5: Tolerance for error
The instruction minimizes student errors.
Principle 6: Low physical effort
The instruction is delivered efficiently and minimizes student fatigue.
