Universal Design for Learning in Higher Education
Description:
Every student is unique and learns differently. With variability in culture, socio-economic status, race, gender, ethnicity, & more in higher ed, this can make teaching overwhelming. Universal Design for Learning is a framework that empowers educators to address multiple barriers to learning through the design of their environments. To build capable, just, compassionate leaders for our future, we need to create learning opportunities that are rigorous, relevant, inclusive, & accessible for all.
