  2. What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)? UDL reduces barriers in curriculum for students by designing learning materials that enable all students to gain knowledge and the love of learning. Click on the iPhone to watch a video about UDL

  3. Inspiration for UDL • UDL was inspired by the need of architectural changes to allow access for everyone. • Examples – Ramps instead of just stairs to enter buildings. • The structural changes inspired the idea to change the way instruction occurs for students.

  4. UDL in our world Where Do We See UDL Everyday? Large print books or magnifiers to enlarge the print Ramps Automatic Doors

  5. Recognition Networks • The “what” of learning • Means by which student recognizes data • Uses senses (hear, taste, smell, touch, see)

  6. Recognition • Networks Instructional Methods • Using different modalities provide the same information • Give examples and non-examples • Highlight words • Use prior knowledge and pre-teach vocabulary words. • Graphics organizers and outlines • Use audible books, text, or recorded lessons for students to hear again.

  7. Strategic Networks • The “how” of learning • The way in which a student plans and performs tasks • The way that students organize and express their ideas

  8. Strategic Networks • Instructional Methods • Use various strategies to solve problems • Allow for alternatives for interacting with materials by voice, hand, adapted keyboard • Use different medias to compose materials. Use text, speech, illustration, storyboards, film, music, videos, or visual arts. • Allow for scaffolding opportunities to where the student can become more proficient with a task

  9. Affective Networks • The “why” of learning • The way by which the students become engaged learners and stay motivated • What challenges the student or promotes interest.

  10. Affective Networks • Instructional Methods • Provide specific, frequent, and timely feedback. • Provide expectations through scoring guides • Have student involvement by students setting their own personal, academic and behavioral goals whenever possible

  11. Role of Technology in UDL • Digital tools allow for the content to be displayed in different ways. • Materials can be presented to the student’s learning style. • Technology is engaging and enhances learning. Technology can be adaptive to the learner’s needs such as having larger keys on a keyboard.

  12. UDL Impact on Student Learning • All students are provided with the maximum opportunity to learn • Flexibility in learning • More ways to access learning, participate in class, and demonstrate knowledge learned. • Alternatives to the way materials and knowledge and is obtained.

  13. UDL and Diversity of Students Multimedia tools allow for students to obtain the information in a variety of ways. Students can see larger print, have the material read aloud, graphic organizers, etc. They can also create projects using a variety of methods. Some students may prefer to create a comic while another student prefers to create a podcast.

  14. Online Resources CAST UDL Curriculum Self-Check http://udlselfcheck.cast.org/ Teachers can check their own curriculum to see where areas of improvement are needed.

  15. Online Resources CAST UDL Exchange http://udlexchange.cast.org/home Teachers can build their own lessons or view resources from others. Resources include websites, presentations, videos, and much more.

  16. Online Resources CAST UDL Book Builder http://bookbuilder.cast.org/ Teachers can have students create their own books that can be shared with others. Students can view the library to read books created by other students.
