Universal Design for Learning – UDL Online Module
During my tenure as the Director of the Florida Consortium, I developed an online module for Universal Design for Learning. Specifically, this module provides a “user-friendly” resource for postsecondary faculty.
Universal Design for Learning for Postsecondary Education (UDL) is a free interactive online module. It teaches UDL principles to college faculty. As a result, Postsecondary educators learn the concepts, strategies, and benefits of UDL.
Throughout the process, I was lucky to work with a fantastic writer, Marianne Gorman. The Florida Center for Interactive Media built the wonderful graphics, and our team created an easy to follow module that has been well-received. As a result, the module is being used across the United States! Although we developed this module specifically for ALL students (i.e. universal), we added multiple suggestions and resources for students with disabilities.
