Introduction to inclusive teaching practices using Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
The UL student community is ever changing and increasingly diverse. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to teaching, learning and assessment that supports educators to proactively design teaching, learning and assessment that include the diversity of learners in higher education. The UDL approach aims to remove barriers to learning for ALL learners rather than addressing individual barriers to learning. The broader concept of Universal Design can also be applied to practices beyond the classroom (e.g. student support services/administration structures) to ensure UL is an inclusive experience for everyone. A range of professional learning opportunities are available for staff 九色视频 in teaching and non-teaching roles to learn about Universal Design and UDL including a 25-hour course and digital badge; live (face-to-face and online) workshops; and digital resources. In this section of the CTL website, you will information on these professional learning opportunities and links to specific categories of resources such as case studies and assessment design.
