What Is UDL • Based on Brain Networks
Core UDL Principles Multiple Means of Representation Multiple Means of Engagement Multiple Means of Expression
Concepts vs. Implementation • How do we get from conceptually understanding the principles to actual implementation? • Barriers • Students • Curriculum
Barriers - Students What we do know • Learners differ in the ways that they perceive and comprehend information that is presented to them. • Students with disabilities – LD, Visual Impairment • Students without disabilities -may simply grasp information quicker or more efficiently through visual or auditory means rather than printed text
Barriers – Students What we do know Learners differ in the ways that they can navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Learners differ markedly in the ways in which they can be engaged or motivated to learn Learners can remember something best if we learn it in a context that we understand
Learning – What We Know • The human adult attention span is 10-15 minutes • ·Optimal learning is at 20 minutes into a long lecture • People remember 80-100% of what they apply, especially if used immediately • Retention is greatly increased by involvement of more senses: audible, visual, touch, writing • Taking notes (even if never re-read) increases retention by 40% The University of Kansas School of Medicine - Wichita
