Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides all students equal opportunities to learn by presenting instructional materials in flexible ways that accommodate different learning needs, strengths, and styles. The three principles of UDL are providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. UDL draws from findings in neuroscience and cognitive psychology to develop inclusive instructional strategies using technology that support diverse learners.
This power point was created by the Office of Special Programs in partnership with RESA (West Virginia Board of Education) based staff developed Support for Personalized Instruction (SPI) as a sub-set of Support for Personalized Learning (SPL) to specifically address the quality of the interactions that have been found through research to most directly move individual learners from where they are to where they need to be.
This presentation about Universal Design Learning will help viewers gain a better perspective behind what it truly is. Users will also gain knowledge about technology resources that support UDL.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and ICT tools to make teaching & learning accessible for all students.
Presented by SIHO at "Inclusive Higher Education: National and International Perspectives Conference" from 22 to 23 September 2014 at the University of Leipzig.
This presentation, created by the National UDL Task Force, provides an introduction to universal design and universal design for learning. It then illustrates how UDL applies to the whole curriculum and how UDL is being supported at the local, state, and federal level.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Universal Design for Learning(UDL) is a set of
PRINCIPLES characterized by CAST (2011), that gives
all students an equivalent opportunity to learn in
the classroom!
Rose (Laureate Education, 2010) reinforces the idea
that UDL is an instructional approach that opens up
opportunities for learning by all students!
3. Is UDL Necessary?
YES! UDL is necessary because:
Students have various needs, interests and skills they
bring to the classroom (CAST, 2011);
All students need the same chances to learn;
All children are capable of learning and they learn in
different ways; and
The ways that different students learn means that the
instructional design to meet those needs must be
adapted!
4. What is the
INSPIRATION
for UDL?
UDL gives ALL students the opportunity to learn!!
UDL is meant to accommodate the educational needs of all
students, regardless of their disabilities or barriers!
It was an idea that originated from the Universal Design
(UD) method in architecture where the need was to make
buildings accessible for ALL people!
Our environment has been adjusted to conform to the
different needs of people, so shouldn’t our classrooms?
8. Brain Research and UDL
• Worden and et al. explains “While brain research
alone can’t tell us how to teach children,
understanding the brain leads to uncovering
underlying learning mechanisms (Worden and et al.
,2011).” Understanding the connection between
these two areas can assist an educator in creating
successful lessons that will meet the needs of all
students.
• Retrieved from: A Study on Universal Design Learning
9. Principle #1: Present Materials in a
Variety of Ways REPRESENTATION
The “WHAT” of Learning
How we gather facts and
categorize what we see, hear,
smell, taste, and touch
Helps us identify voices, faces,
letters, numbers, words,
complex patterns, and abstract
concepts.
Examples include: large text,
highlighted text, math word
problems and sequences
Instructional methods include:
Powerpoint, Videos,
SMARTboard, Digital Media
10. Principle #2: Provide a Multiple Means
of ACTION and EXPRESSION
The “HOW” of Learning
How we plan and perform
tasks, listen to lectures, take
notes, etc.
How we organize and express
our ideas such as solving a
math problem
Helps us understand and
demonstrate our
understanding of concepts.
Examples include: oral/video
presentations, project-based
learning, make a poster, have a
debate, etc.
11. Principle #3: Provide Various Options
for ENGAGEMENT
The “WHY” of Learning
How we get engaged and stay
motivated to learn
How our emotions are controlled
How we are challenged, excited,
or interested in, or about, a topic
based on choices
Examples include: Virtual field
trips, online collaboration,
journals, flexible grouping,
multimedia presentations
12. So What’s the Big Idea?
Students do not learn in the same manner!
All students process information in unique
ways. How they translate, construct, or
employ the information they learn into a
meaningful experience is critical and begins
with the instructional methods chosen by the
teacher!
How is this important to me and how do I
create a classroom using UDL methods using
technology?
13. Instructional Methods and The
Role of Technology in UDL
Main roles of
Technology in
UDL:
• Supports
diverse
learning
needs
• Provides
flexibility to
provide
content
• Gives students
alternative
choices to
learn
• Engages ALL
learners
14. Instructional Methods and The Role
of Technology in UDL (cont.)
• Provides multiple content choices for teachers and
students
• Makes lessons easier to design meets the needs for
individual students
Examples of Technology in the Classroom:
Voice recognition software, digital text, SMARTboards,
blogs, wikis, audio books, VoiceThread, movies, graphic
organizers, laptops, math manipulatives, foldables,
journal books, tutorial videos, virtual field trips, online
concept map-making tools, iPads, iMovies, sticky notes,
Edmodo, iPhoto, communication devices,
screencasting/podcasts

16. UDL and Diversity
Today’s classrooms are more diverse
than ever! So what does UDL do?
It improves student learning for ALL students by
making sure that their access to the curriculum is
meaningful and they learn authentic skills and are
assessed appropriately. UDL also accompanies
initiatives set by existing school reforms. (Universal
Design for Learning Task Force)
It gives itself to cultural, ethnic, and
linguistic diversity and makes room for low
and high-achieving students to progress
while offering challenges to all learners.
17. How does UDL Impact
Learning at CMHS?
Increases skills that will help
students in real world
applications
Increases engagement and
motivation among all
including teachers and
students
Allows choices for students
to learn
Students receive feedback to
achieve goals and set new
ones
Students and teachers gain
confidence in their
individual skills
Includes the use of many
forms of technology that
appeal to all types of
learners
