With the increase in diversity in education and the global economy, it is critical that students, staff, and faculty have experience in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL calls for materials that address the majority of individual needs and are accessible from the very beginning. This requires a change in thinking from a traditional one-size-fits-all education and training philosophy to one that provides greater flexibility, providing multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression, in order to promote more purposeful and motivated, resourceful and knowledgeable, and strategic and goal-directed learners. The course will be founded in current practices and literature applicable to UDL. Learners will be encouraged to use current and innovative technologies and tools to develop course content that exemplifies best practices, including UDL principals, accessibility standards/regulations, and Quality Matters.
