Description
Universal Design and assistive technology are not just a philosophy and tools that enable students with disabilities to participate in all aspects of an online course. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides “a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.” The session will start with a segment called “Flipping for UDL” which will discuss how to flip your classroom to address universal design for learning. Then each panelist will offer a short, concise concern or suggestion related to UDL followed by an opportunity for participants engage in a Q&A session on all topics related to UDL and assistive technology.
