Webinar Description
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles are a guide to effective teaching practices and accessible course materials. This session will explore UDL's three principles and how they benefit a wide range of learners, including students of different ages, life experiences, cultural backgrounds, abilities and disabilities, and learning styles. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of UDL, including what it is, who benefits from it, how it can be implemented, and how it can be institutionalized for lasting benefit.
Objectives
If you are an educator or disability service professional, this session will help you to better understand:
1. the barriers to UDL implementation that exist on college campuses
2. a definition of UDL that moves it beyond the sphere of disability services into a broader discourse on learning, teaching and student retention
3. simple and effect techniques for implementing UDL to create both inclusive classroom instruction and accessible course materials
4. techniques for promoting and institutionalizing UDL in an academic environment, including tying UDL to the strategic goals and mission of your institution
Who Should Attend?
All faculty, staff and administrators at both two- and four-year institutions of higher education.
