The document discusses principles of instructional design including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Understanding by Design (UbD), and developing online courses. It provides information on UbD including its key aspects of beginning with desired results and assessments, focusing on big ideas and understandings, and engaging learners. Resources and examples are given for each principle to help with designing learning activities and online instruction.

1. Week 3:
Designing for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Understanding by Design (UbD)
Education for a Digital World
Development of Online Courses (Anderson)
Learning Activity

2. Understanding by Design (UbD)
 Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe

16. Week 3 Learning Activity
 Due November 25
 Assessment: 10%
Prepare a critique of an existing learning activity and
redesign it for your learning environment, students,
and outcomes you are looking to achieve.
 The critique should reference theory and design
principles from the readings
 The critique should use one of the templates or guides
from the readings, the Understanding by Design
standards, or the Universal Design for Learning
template
 Provide a digital copy of the original learning activity,
your critique and redesigned activity, minimum one-
page for each of the three components.
