"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn, including students with disabilities. UDL aims to improve the educational experience of all students by introducing more flexible methods of teaching, assessment and service provision to cater for the diversity of learners in our classrooms".

Blended learning can help teachers to implement many of the principles of UDL more effectively. Consider UDL and blended learning as complementary ideas which overlap. Blended learning models can make putting UDL into practice more manageable. Teachers can use the time, space, and flexibility afforded by blended learning to increase student engagement by teaching self-regulation skills, fostering communication and collaboration among a community of learners, and prioritising learner agency.
