Universal Design for Learning
Manage episode 342719472 series 3370213
Wentworth instructional designers Josh Luckens, Megan Hamilton Giebert, and Lucy Wolski discuss strategies to implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in college classrooms.
UDL is a framework that seeks to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn best. Research shows that the ways in which people learn are as unique as their fingerprints. UDL guides the design of learning environments that reduce barriers to learning and empowers students to become expert learners in the rich diversity of ways that people learn.
