History of UDL
Universal Design (UD) Accommodate the widest spectrum of users
without the need for subsequent adaptation Access to public buildings, city streets,
television…
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Inclusive pedagogy Applies to both teaching and technology

3 Principles
1. Represent information and concepts in multiple ways (and in a variety of formats).
2. Students are given multiple ways to express their comprehension and mastery of a topic.
3. Students engage with new ideas and information in multiple ways.

#1: Representation
Presenting ideas and information in multiple ways and in a variety of formats Lectures Group activities Hands-on exercises Text + Graphics, Audio, Video Distribute class notes ahead of time Usable electronic formats (e.g., Word, PDF,
HTML)

#3: Engagement
Engaging students in multiple ways Express your own enthusiasm! Challenge students with meaningful, real-world
assignments (e.g., service learning) Give prompt and instructive feedback Use classroom response systems (i>clickers) Make yourself available to students during office
hours in flexible formats

At Colorado State University2
8%–11% report a disability Non-apparent disabilities are by far the largest
proportion and growing Even among students who say they have a
disability, few seek accommodations

What can UDL accomplish?
Cast a wider net to “catch” a more diverse set of learners
Make learning more active and engaging
Make learning and the materials of instruction accessible and usable by more students
Help reduce the need for individual accommodations
