6 weeks

• Online Asynchronous

The 6 week course will first introduce learners to the overall theory of UDL and will reflect on how each has different experiences and learning strategies that they bring to the course. They will then be introduced to the benefits of accessible content and how it promotes student success. Learners will see how UDL offers insight for more effective teaching and learning and is much more than issues of accessibility. The introduction will be followed by three in-depth modules that will each review one of the three principles of UDL and their corresponding guidelines. Within each module, learners will focus on improving their courses by providing multiple means of representations, action and expression, and engagement through guidelines focusing on taking advantage of recognition, strategic, and affective networks to improve student success across a diverse set of students from various backgrounds and experiences. The course will culminate in learners reflecting on their experience and sharing their success with the strategies while developing a presentation demonstrating how they effectively implemented UDL strategies to improve their teaching to be shared within their colleagues, both in their course and at the institution.
