View the new UDL guidelines 3.0 which aim to "guide the design of learning environments and experiences that reduce barriers and more fully honor and value every learner."
The guidelines provide suggestions for how faculty can provide multiple means of...
Engagement (the why of learning): interests and identities, effort and persistence, and emotional capacity
Representation (the what of learning): perception, language and symbols, and building knowledge
Action & Expression (the how of learning): interaction, expression and communication, and strategy development

Accessibility means that ALL students have an equal opportunity to access content and participate in your course. Design courses that address the needs of diverse learners from the start so fewer accommodations will be needed. When you improve the accessibility of your courses, you are breaking down barriers to learning! The University of Alaska is committed to accessibility.
