Our next video ... discusses the importance of formative assessments in UDL-related instruction. Although we focus on ELA-styled formative assessments, these resources can be applied to any subject area. We also share strategies for implementing formative assessment techniques and demonstrate how formative assessment can inform instruction while supporting diverse learner needs.
In this episode of "Utilizing UDL," we will jump into the powerful approach of UDL and the importance of formative assessments. Join us as we discuss the principles of UDL, explore real-time examples, and highlight the benefits of incorporating formative assessments into your teaching practices!
In this "Utilizing UDL" episode, we reflect on a case study examining how UDL and Blended learning unite in the classroom. We will explore how these approaches were implemented into courses, engaged students with UDl and Blended features, and the relationship between engagement and academic achievement.
