Increasingly, instructors at the college level are called upon to create classroom learning experiences that can be characterized using terms like academically rigorous, accessible, differentiated, trauma-sensitive, inclusive, culturally relevant, and student-centered. While teaching faculty are generally regarded as content experts, supporting the diverse array of learning needs represented in our
courses can prove challenging. Moreover, there is a growing expectation that we also teach 21st Century skills and prepare students for values-driven professional work. Institutions are finding creative ways to equip faculty with resources to meet these demands, and yet, this remains an incredibly tall order in the context of higher education as we know it.
Educators have found success in applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in their classrooms. UDL strategies can spur student accomplishment, persistence, and
satisfaction. So, it’s only natural that teachers want their courses to have a lasting impact—to extend their accessibility outside of campus and the learning management system.
This 20-Minute Mentor addresses realistic UDL strategies to keep any course fresh and relevant throughout the year.
