Topic 9: Implementation of UDL
Topic 9: Implementation of UDL
The decision to begin applying the UDL framework in your course design and learning environments will bring a paradigm shift in how you teach. This shift need not feel overwhelming, as you are likely already providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression to your students. Best practice for implementation is to begin with small steps and select a specific aspect of your course design, instructional material, or assessment and think about ways it could be informed or changed by the UDL framework.
Creating a more universally designed course is a marathon, not a sprint!
