Diverse Learners are… All students regardless of disability or learning needs. (Basham, 2010)
Beginnings of Universal Design Architecture (Spooner, 2007)
What is Universal Design? The term Universal Design for Learning means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that (A) provides flexibility and (B) reduces barriers in instruction. (Basham, 2010)
7 Principles of UDL 1. Equitable use 2. Flexibility in use 3. Simple and intuitive use 4. Perceptible information 5. Tolerance for error 6. Low physical effort 7. Size and space for approach and use (King-Sears, 2009)
Poll: Universal Design of Instruction Your opinion on Universal Design of Instruction.
Technology & Universal Design of Instruction Technology Flexibility Learning for All Students Types of Technology (Kurtts, 2012) • Text-to-Speech • Captioning & Video Description • Digital Books/ Video (self modeling) • Audio Recordings of books (ie. MP 3 files, podcast) • Haptic Devices (Video) • I-Pad (Video)
