Approachability
(appealing & easier to grasp for
those with the desire to
participate but do not always
participate)
Agency
(ability to express self in a
variety of ways, with reciprocal
relationships)
Accessibility
(accessible to people with
disabilities, accessible to as
many people as possible)
Affordability
(affordable for the creators &
participants without the need
for expensive ongoing costs
related to platform
subscription and devices)

in a meaningful way)
