Please reply to 3 question survey to help us determine rescheduling date/time
February 25, 2021 - 6 to 8 pm Central
This session is an
introduction to the theory and practice of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Participants will be introduced to the concept of Universal Design, as well as
its importance for equitable and accessible teaching and learning. We will
survey some of the foundational research about UDL and formulate strategies by
which we can incorporate its principles into our own course design and
classroom activities. Finally, we will examine the available resources for UDL
and commit to action steps that will help us begin (or expand) our use of UDL principles
in our teaching.
As a result of this session, attendees will:
1. Gain an understanding of UDL?s foundational principles, and why they
are an essential part of an accessible education for students
2. Become aware of the importance of differentiated strategies in
course design and implementation and articulate what those strategies might be
in their own specific practice
3. Commit to specific actions to incorporate (or enhance)
UDL in their teaching and design of their teaching and learning spaces
4. Know where to go to continue development in UDL and find the
communities of practice that can inform their work with UDL in the future.
