Universal Design for Learning

Implementation of Universal Design principles in Learning & Teaching promotes inclusivity and equity while also ‘future‐ proofing’ your teaching. As our classrooms and lecture theatres become increasingly diverse, our practices must also adapt to reflect the changing landscape of higher education. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences. It guides the development of flexible learning environments that can respond to the wide range of diversity in our lecture rooms. This CPD course will give you an introduction to the concept of Universal Design for Learning and invite you to review and update your own Learning & Teaching practice. This badge is aimed at academic staff and any other staff members who have a teaching remit e.g. those who deliver teaching/training programmes for staff and students.
