As we move into a new world with more and more online instruction, we are seeking out ways to reach students regardless of being in a face to face classroom, or through online platforms. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for ALL people based on scientific insights into how humans learn.
This online book study explores UDL in the Cloud by Katie Novak, which provides practical insights and savvy strategies for helping all learners meet high standards using the principles of Universal Design for Learning in online learning environments.
Over this eight-week period, participants will look at UDL Guidelines in action, develop a “UDL” friendly syllabus, look at supporting engagement as well as other topics. You will find this book is geared toward instruction for the more mature learner it would be beneficial for developing and implementing virtual courses for secondary students.
