Implementing Universal Design for Learning in a University Setting 25th January 2022
25 January 2022, 4:00 pm–5:00 pm
This presentation will describe the planning process involved in creating a suite of resources about Universal Design for Learning in the University of Sydney. We used a model of change to create resources for University teachers to adapt their teaching to incorporate UDL principles. This talk will share the conceptual approach based on (1) identifying UDL as a process of change (2) using a case study to illustrate UDL (3) creating 3 levels related to the complexity of change so that teachers start with the easiest things to implement and progress through the UDL process based on self-assessment and a framework linked to our own teaching resources. This process is about starting with one step at a time, recognising that you are already doing some of this and viewing this as not a new paradigm but part of your existing repertoire of teaching skills.
