#  T560: Universal Design for Learning, Theory, Practice, and Innovation 

 





 Semester:   Spring 

 

 

 

Educators are typically equipped with technology, media, and materials that are "one size fits all" and that have been designed primarily for a narrow and illusive group of "regular" students. This course will explore an alternative approach--universal design for learning (UDL)--that creates curricula and learning environments that are designed to meet the needs of a much wider range of student abilities and disabilities. The UDL framework takes advantage of advances in two fields: (1) the cognitive neuroscience of learning and individual differences and (2) the universal design of educational technologies and multimedia. This course will explore recent advances in both of these fields through readings, media, design workshops, and practical applications of UDL. We take a collaborative approach and work in teams to examine and design learning environments, curriculum, and technology.
