Universal Design for Learning

Today's session for the faculty redesign summit was Universal Design for Learning. Phyllis Anderson, a member of the CAST Faculty for UDL, served as our consultant.

Some new learning for me:

  • this is a new way of thinking
  • a conceptual framework to understand an approach to educating for all
  • this approach originated in architecture 
  • the principles offer the perspective that the curriculum is disabled, not people
  • UDL offers the ultimate learning context for all to learn
There certainly is a plethora of resources available to use.

We spent several hours perusing what would the resources would offer.
