Course Development Through the Universal Design for Learning Framework

The topic is developing accessible, engaging, and inclusive courses that meet student needs through application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework (CAST, 2018). This topic advances the inclusivity and accessibility that are fundamental to the ASU charter and the teaching and learning at ASU. The presentation would include a facilitated discussion with the audience on inclusivity and accessibility in courses, a presentation of examples/models of how the UDL framework has been applied to developing courses in our department, and a reflection by the audience members on how they could adapt the UDL framework to their own courses. By the end of the session, participants will be better able to apply the UDL framework to their own courses to make them more accessible, effective, and inclusive.
