Abstract: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guides the design of learning experiences to proactively meet the needs of all learners. When you use UDL, you assume that barriers to learning are in the design of the environment, not in the student. UDL is based on brain science and evidence-based educational practices. It also leverages the power of digital technology. In this session about UDL, the presenters will describe UDL, define it, identify strategies to use in effective implementation in higher education classroom and discuss successes!
