ED 5640 - Universal Design for Learning: Creating Variability and Opportunity for All Learners

During this course we will explore the guidelines of UDL (Representation, Action and Expression, and Engagement) in our own curriculum. We will discuss the ideas of variability in our lesson development and create high standards for all learners regardless of their backgrounds, abilities, challenges, or skills. This course will explore the differences and similarities between differentiation and UDL and take a proactive look at applying both concepts into our planning. The objective of this course will be to create access for all students to the curriculum we teach and employ options as we assess them.
