Incorporating Universal Design for Learning into Your Everyday Practice

Guest Speaker: Sammy Peter, MLIS

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an instructional framework that works to make educational materials accessible to all students by reducing any barriers from the design of instruction. Incorporating this framework into our everyday practice can often seem intimidating and inaccessible because of the variety of approaches you can take. This presentation will dive into how to begin incorporating UDL into your everyday practice of instruction and workshop presentations, including conference presentations, without feeling overwhelmed.
