BSU Today 2020: Dr. Thomas Dirth, Psychology

A review of the Universal Design for Learning framework, a learning framework that can support student success, across ability levels, by providing multiple means of representation, action and engagement in course content. This presentation will discuss why it is important to approach course design with a UDL framework in mind, how students respond to a UDL design, and it will talk through examples of course content (i.e. lectures, assignments, class discussions) that follow the UDL framework. The general thesis of this presentation is that the UDL framework is well- positioned to meet the needs of all students as many face increasing headwinds in engaging in our courses.
