Do you have students in your class who…
have a variety of academic abilities? have different educational experiences? have different backgrounds? have different learning styles? have different preferences? are used to instruction at different paces?

The way we learn is as unique as our fingerprints

Universal Design
• One size doesn’t fit all • Increases access opportunities for everyone• Anticipates a variety of needs• Proactive: designed from the beginning
![Page 15: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
From architecture to education
“Consider the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning”
(Ron Mace, architect, founder and program director of The Center for UD)

3. Accessible education: Universal Design for learning (UDL)
![Page 17: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
“The essence of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is flexibility and the inclusion of alternatives to adapt to the myriad variations in learner needs, styles and preferences… the ‘universal’ in Universal Design for Learning does not imply a single solution for everyone, but rather it underscores the need for inherently flexible, customizable content, assignments and activities.”
(David Rose and Ann Meyer in Journal of Special Education Technology (15.1))

Principle I: Multiple Means of Representation
Present information and content in a variety of accessible formats
![Page 20: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example 1: Online video as an alternative for text and images
![Page 21: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example 2: Subtitling and translation of online videos for easy access
![Page 22: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example 3: interactive timelines as a mean for representing historical facts, processes, biographies, …
![Page 23: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example 4: Accessible digital text documents
Why is this necessary?
![Page 24: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Creating accessible Word documents
i.e. add alternative text to images
i.e. use built-in styles • Headings• Lists• Emphasis
Use the Built-in Accessibility Checker

Example of multiple options for the content of the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain )• Read the text in the actual novel• Access the text online in digital format (with screenshots
from the original book)• Access the full text online (without images)• Access the text in iBook format • Listen to the audio book• Watch the video

Principle II: Multiple Means of Action and Expression
• Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know
![Page 27: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example 1: Let students visually outline thoughts, notes, structures, concepts, …
![Page 28: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example 2: Encourage online collaboration as a mean to work together
![Page 29: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

4. Implementing UDL
![Page 36: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Apply the principles to the four pillars of the curriculum
educational goals instruction methods
materials assessment
![Page 37: Universal Design for Learning and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/54922d45b479598e198b4646/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In a curriculum that is rooted in the 3 UDL principles
students have:
1. Options for how they learn2. Choices which will engage their interest3. Choices for how they demonstrate their learning
teachers provide:
1. Flexible ways of presenting lesson content2. Flexible options for student engagement3. Flexible methods of expression and assessment
