  1. Technology for Diverse Learners By: Stephanie Gildenmeister, Christina Moffitt, and Jillisa Raber

  2. What are Diverse Learners?

  3. Diverse Learners are… All students regardless of disability or learning needs. (Basham, 2010)

  4. Beginnings of Universal Design • Architecture (Spooner, 2007)

  5. What is Universal Design? • The term Universal Design for Learning means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that • provides flexibility and • (B) reduces barriers in instruction. (Basham, 2010)

  6. 7 Principles of UDL 1. Equitable use 2. Flexibility in use 3. Simple and intuitive use 4. Perceptible information 5. Tolerance for error 6. Low physical effort 7. Size and space for approach and use (King-Sears, 2009)

  7. Your opinion on Universal Design of Instruction. Poll: Universal Design of Instruction

  8. Technology & Universal Design of Instruction • Types of Technology (Kurtts, 2012) • Text-to-Speech • Captioning & Video Description • Digital Books/ Video (self modeling) • Audio Recordings of books (ie. MP3 files, podcast) • Haptic Devices (Video) • I-Pad (Video)

  9. Poll: Making the Connection (Varlan, n.d.)

  10. Additional Resources www.cast.org/tes A universal design website by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) developers of UDL. www.tarheelreader.org Free, easy to read books that can be downloaded and speech enabled, as well as accessed using multiple interfaces. http://www.med.unc.edu/ahs/clds/ Center for Literacy and Disabilities Studies http://msjacoby.com/butdance.html This is how they used UDL and technology to work on a project called Dance with the Butterflies.
