Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an interconnected pedagogical practice that combines accessibility and flexibility in meeting learning objectives. In implementing UDL, a course and instructor would:
Minimize unnecessary physical effort
Provide a productive and supportive learning environment
Deliver accessible and fair instructional materials, assessments, and activities
Create a learning space that accommodates different students and instructional methods
Be straight forward, consistent, and flexible in use and presentation
Be explicitly presented and readily perceived
