"Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
is a framework to improve and
optimize teaching and learning
for all people based on
scientific insights into
how humans learn."
Universal Design for Learning
"UDL is really just 'plus-one' thinking. For every interaction that learners have now -- with the materials, yes, but also with each other, with instructors and with the wider world
-- provide one more way for that interaction to happen."
