Description:Faculty teaching online courses encounter a diverse student population with various learning preferences and needs. Instead of creating a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching, consider implementing a teaching approach that provides flexible instructional methods, materials and assessments that can be tweaked to meet the needs of your diverse learning population. Universal Design for Learning and Universal Design of Instruction (UDL/UDI) take into consideration that students learn differently and, therefore, should be provided with different options for learning materials and for demonstrating learning. This workshop will help you understand the core concepts of UDL/UDI and apply them to an online course setting.
Learning Objectives:
*Identify various terms and laws relevant to UDL/UDI
*Describe core elements and features of UDL/UDI
*Apply UDL/UDI strategies to an element of an online course
Who should attend?*Faculty who teach in online and blended formats
*Instructional designers
