Exploring Universal Design for Learning

Description

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework used to design, develop, and deliver inclusive educational experiences. The UDL framework guides educators to create learning that is accessible to all learners. The framework draws from physical accessibility models, neuroscience, and learning theories.

In this workshop, we will explore the UDL framework and its three fundamental underpinnings, which are: multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. You will learn to use the framework as a tool to assess and find solutions to learning challenges.

Through multiple interactive and engaging exercises, you will learn how, when, and why to strategically apply UDL principles in learning design, development, and delivery, with the goal to improve student success.

By the end of the workshop, you will have a better understanding of how to apply the UDL framework to their own learning projects and to view student success through a UDL lens.
