Enhancing Learning Experiences with UDL
Course Description
Overview
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework used to design, develop, and deliver inclusive educational experiences. The UDL framework guides educators to create learning that is accessible to all learners. The framework draws from physical accessibility models, neuroscience, and learning theories.In this course, participants will engage in a comprehensive design process, utilizing the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework to transform their curricula. By implementing UDL principles, they will effectively eliminate barriers to learning and optimize learner success. Throughout the course, they will gain valuable insights and practical strategies for creating accessible, engaging, and inclusive learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of all learners.
Through multiple interactive and engaging exercises using their own work, participants will discover, dream, design and deliver a renewed learning experience strategically applying UDL principles with the goal to improve student success.
Objectives
- Analyze the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to develop a deeper understanding of how to recognize learner variability and adapt their teaching strategies to promote accessibility and engagement.
- Envision inclusive learning environments by applying their knowledge of UDL principles to envision inclusive learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of adult learners.
- Create UDL-integrated learning experiences by incorporating UDL principles to ensure that adult learners can access, understand, and apply course content.
- Demonstrate the effectiveness of UDL-integrated learning experiences by adjusting their teaching strategies based on feedback and observation to support the diverse needs of adult learners.
Topics
- You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.
- This session is a refresher of what was covered in the first Universal Design for Learning course.
- In this session, participants will engage in a flowchart exercise to assess their own teaching practices through a UDL lens.
- The purpose of the UDL flowchart exercise is to raise awareness of UDL principles and encourage participants to incorporate them into their teaching practices. By examining a flowchart of a learning activity and identifying areas that do and do not align with UDL principles, participants will gain a better understanding of how UDL can benefit diverse learners and promote inclusive teaching practices.
- The exercise aims to facilitate reflection and discussion on the importance of incorporating UDL principles into teaching practices and equip participants with practical strategies for applying UDL principles in their own teaching. Ultimately, the exercise seeks to promote an inclusive learning environment that supports the success of all learners.
- In this session, participants will flex their creative muscle and utilize the UDL guidelines to ‘dream up’ engaging, expressive, and representative means of learning.
- This session's purpose is for participants to envision a barrier-free (UDL) experience and recognize the difference between a UDL and non-UDL learning experience.
- The exercises in this session aim to equip participants with skills and a process to reimagine their learning experiences.
- During this session, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an open space learning environment to brainstorm creative and inclusive UDL learning experiences. The open space setting offers participants the freedom to explore various curricular options and receive valuable feedback, ultimately empowering them to develop effective and barrier-free lesson plans.
- The purpose of this session is for participants to apply UDL principles to identify and remove barriers to learning, enhancing the delivery of effective and inclusive learning experiences.
- The exercise in this session is designed to fulfill the final step of the four-step process, which involves delivering inclusive and effective learning experiences after the discovery, dreaming, and design stages have been completed.
- In this session, participants will prepare an “elevator pitch”, a short presentation that will demonstrate the effectiveness of their newly re-designed learning experience, the culmination of the day’s iterative work of discovery, dreaming, and designing.
- This session's purpose is for participants to “sell” the learning experience that they have designed in the previous DIY Time. Participants will need to “show” how the learning experience incorporates UDL principles and how it will impact learners.
- The exercises in this session aim to strengthen the individual and collective understanding of how to practically apply UDL.
- By preparing a presentation and actively listening to other learners' presentations, learners should be able to apply the UDL principles in a variety of learning contexts.
- At the end of the course, students will have an opportunity to seek and provide feedback and reflect on their learning.
