Principle
Design Multiple Means of Action & Expression

Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment, approach the learning process, and express what they know. Therefore, it is essential to design for and honor these varying forms of action and expression. For example, all individuals, including those with disabilities, approach learning tasks very differently. Depending on the context, some may prefer to express themselves in written text but not speech, and vice versa. It should also be recognized that action and expression require a great deal of strategy, practice, and organization, and this is another area in which learners will differ. In reality, there is not one means of action and expression that will be optimal for every learner; options for action and expression are essential.
