How do we design our courses so that all students can engage in meaningful learning experiences? The goal of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is to intentionally design the learning environment from the start (rather than waiting for accommodation requests) to reduce barriers for students. In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to apply key principles of UDL to the design of courses. We’ll provide examples of how instructors can design activities and assessments so that all students, regardless of disability or background, can fully engage with the course material. Participants will leave this session with strategies that they can begin implementing to improve accessibility in their classes.
This session is part of the Fall Teaching Conference, which is designed to prepare new and experienced graduate student teachers for their roles as Teaching Fellows in the FAS. Pre-registration is required. Learn more here.
