Practical Applications for Universal Design for Learning

Course Description

This course is offered by the University of Nebraska Kearney on our UNK Advance platform in partnership with the Online Learning Consortium.

People teaching and designing online courses, professional development, and other content encounter a diverse student/user population with various learning preferences and needs. Instead of creating a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching, consider designing and delivering your content using a framework that provides flexible instructional goals, methods, activities, materials, and assessments with embedded choices and scaffolds to meet the needs of your diverse learning population. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) takes into consideration that people learn differently and, therefore, should be provided with different options for learning materials and for demonstrating learning. This workshop will help you understand the core concepts of UDL and apply them to an online course setting.
