UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING
UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING
Universal design for learning (UDL), is a set of learning design principles that help reduce barriers and allow for different sorts of access for all types of learners.
I will be presenting with 6 different tech tools to make learning more accessible to everyone by not only simplifying the language, but by chunking the text, relaying the information via video, and also helping students visually.
See below as I demonstrate alternate learning techniques and instructions on how to make delicious Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies!
WRITTEN
WRITTEN
In this format I chose to write out the instructions for this recipe (using the Popplet app) in a step by step process. Using a written format for learning can be great for students that prefer this method of representation. It allows for a learner to refer back, take notes, and follow step by step instructions, lessons or material given to them.
With this clear and easy 1 page visual, you're sure to be enjoying those Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in no time!
AUDITORY USING VOICE NOTES
AUDITORY USING VOICE NOTES
In this means of learning I chose to offer students a way of listening to the instructions via an audio format. A great option for students that may struggle with reading and writting and prefer to express themselves or learn orally.
Listen to my audio below for instructions on how to make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.
NOTE: The first example is using voice notes, and the second (click on headphones) was uploaded to a podcast using Anchor.

Chunking instructions into a more simplified format, allows for learners to not feel so overwhelmed with a project or task.

TEXT TO SPEECH USING READ AND WRITE
TEXT TO SPEECH USING READ AND WRITE
Using the Google extension 'Read and Write' I was able to show how simply highlighting a word or phrase (or entire recipe) can be used as assistive technology for students and educators. This is a great tool for learners just learning to read, ESL students or possibly even learners with visual impairment.
MULTIMEDIA USING iMOVIE
MULTIMEDIA USING iMOVIE
Multimedia is an excellent tool to show lessons plans, and even your work as a student. It allows for creativity, and is engaging and a clear way to show expectations. This is a great tool to show action and expression.
Watch this video and you will clearly see step by step how chocolate chip cookies are made, and how quickly they disappear! ;)
WHAT I'VE LEARNED
WHAT I'VE LEARNED
In this exercise I became familiar with UDL's three principles:
- Engagement - How I was able to engage different types of students and learners in my future classes using different forms of education.
- Representation - I was able to strategically present the lesson and information in 6 different ways that can reach many types of learners.
- Action and Expression - These were options available for educators to show lessons, but can also respectfully and purposefully be used for students to show me what they have learned as well.
