Universal Design for Learning

Universal Design for Learning [UDL] is a research-based teaching framework drawing from the fields of neuroscience, the learning sciences, and cognitive psychology. It emphasizes providing learners with choices. In a course built around the principles of UDL, instructors provide multiple means of engaging learners and representing content, and they allow students multiple ways to demonstrate their learning.
