Language
Use simple words and clear, concise language.
Use active, not passive voice. Speak to the learner, eg "You now need to …", rather than, "The officer now needs to…"
Use minimal punctuation, eg no full-stops on bullet points.
Use bold to highlight text, rather than italics or underlining.
Use language that is appropriate for the learner group, eg English may not be their first language so they may not understand certain Australian expressions.
