Canvas: Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Course description

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational approach based on neuroscience that recognises all learners have unique needs, preferences and strengths, and seeks to provide a flexible and inclusive learning environment that benefits everyone. By incorporating multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement, UDL can help learners with disabilities, learners from diverse backgrounds, and all learners to succeed and reach their full potential.
