Creating educational experiences for our students that integrate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), a philosophy of education that centers students' cultural backgrounds as essential to their learning (Ladson-Billings,1994), is a powerful tool for preparing them for today’s professional environment, which increasingly acknowledges diversity as integral to success. The students in our classrooms arrive with a diverse set of learning needs and a range of cultural experiences and identities. Learning, and the ways that a
person’s brain changes in response to new experiences, must be looked at within the context and the culture in which they occur.
Creating alternative ways of representing information, broadening learner engagement opportunities, and expanding the ways learners can express their learning can be of great
benefit to all your online students.
This Magna Online Seminar shows how you can design and implement Universal Design for Learning/Instruction (UDL/I) methods to deliver a better learning experience, greater academic success, and, ultimately, improve student retention.
After viewing this seminar, you'll be able to:
Incorporate UDL/I elements into your existing courses
Design new courses using UDL/I principles
Employ UDL/I elements far beyond the legally required minimum
This seminar will benefit online faculty, instructional designers, teaching/learning center directors, and administrators of distance education programs.
