Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based framework that guides the development of flexible learning environments to accommodate individual learning differences. The lived experiences of our students are highly diverse, and, for many, English is not their first language. In addition, more and more students with both visible and non-visible disabilities are pursuing postsecondary education. When implemented effectively, UDL can help us develop and deliver courses that best reach and teach all students. In this interactive workshop, we will explore the guiding principles of UDL and brainstorm ways to apply UDL best practices to our instructional materials, course activities, and assessments.
After participating in this online workshop, you will be able to:
- Describe the principles of the UDL framework.
- Implement new UDL techniques in your teaching.
- Identify and evaluate UDL usage in your current classroom.
Workshop materials include slides and handouts provided during the workshop. Please note that you must be logged into your UIC Google account to access these materials.
