Section 103(24) UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING. The term ‘universal design for learning’ means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that— (A)provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged; and (B)reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient.

National Educational Technology Plan November 2010 Dear Members of Congress: Education is vital to America's individual and collective economic growth and prosperity....... To that end, I am presenting you with the Administration's National Education Technology Plan, Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology. The plan calls for applying the advanced technologies used in our daily personal and professional lives to our entire education system to improve student learning, accelerate and scale up the adoption of effective practices, and use data and information for continuous improvement...... © CAST 2011

...The model of learning described in this plan calls for engaging and empowering personalized learning experiences for learners of all ages. The model stipulates that we focus what and how we teach to match what people need to know and how they learn. It calls for using state-of-the-art technology and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts to enable, motivate, and inspire all students to achieve, regardless of background, languages, or disabilities. © CAST 2011

...NIMAS is a standard for digital source files that can be used to accurately and reliably produce instructional materials in a variety of alternate formats using the same source file. © CAST 2011

When reading emotion, teens (left) rely more on the amygdala, while adults (right) rely more on the frontal cortex. Deborah Yurgelon-Todd, 2000 © CAST 2011

PET scans by Lawrence Parsons, Peter Fox, and Donald Hodges Universty of Texas, San Antonio Left panel: the harmony condition activated the left side of the brain more than the right. It also activated inferior (or lower) regions of the temporal cortex as compared to the melody condition Center panel: the melody condition activated both sides of the area called the temporal cortex (which is known to represent sound) to a much greater extent than did the rhythm and harmony conditions. Right panel: much of the brain activation observed during the rhythm condition was in the cerebellum. © CAST 2011
