Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has become synonymous with supporting students with disabilities. However, all students can learn and benefit from a UDL curriculum. In the higher education classroom this methodology can provide guidance around syllabus development and presentation, materials, technology integration, and classroom activities. A UDL classroom can enhance student engagement and retention within classes, programs, and universities. This interactive session will present the tenets of UDL while you experience universally designed learning activities and use technology to engage with the material.
