“Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn.”

Components of udl Why (how we engage learners)
What (how we represent content) How (how we express our learning)
6
“If we want to expand UDL on campus, it needs to be separate from the disability office.”

Udl pilot project Action Project for Commission on Higher Learning
Received small institutional grant Put call out for faculty volunteers Coordinated training Faculty learning community

What We learned UDL did not equate to no need for accommodations
Faculty reported deeper mastery of content Increased ability to engage students with disabilities and international students Moderate increases in grades Students more engaged

Faculty recommendations
Changes need to be introduced in stages Consider class size Peer support was key Support for UDL needs to be led by faculty, not DS office

Moving forward Faculty participants are: Other ideas:
Presenting at teaching and learning events on campus Presenting at national conferences Engaging colleagues in conversation Providing training to instructional technologist Other ideas: Faculty leading small learning communities Embedding UDL in other pedagogical trainings on campus
