Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework that uses technology to provide flexible instructional materials, techniques, and assessments to meet the needs of all students. UDL is based on three principles: providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. By incorporating flexibility and options into curriculum design using technology, UDL supports the diverse learning needs of all students through customizable and individualized learning experiences based on how the brain learns best.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What is UDL? “Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational approach to curriculum and instruction using technology to enable students with diverse learning needs to be successful in the classroom .” UDL Provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials and assessments that work for everyone. Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) website: http//www.cast.org
3. Three Principles of UDL In each network of curriculum provides options for all three principles: Representing information – this is how educators present the information to student Action and expression – this is how educators encourage learners to react Engagement – this is how educators promote connection (National Center on UDL)
5. Central Role of Technology in UDL Newer technologies allow, and encourage, flexibility and diversity instead. This power and flexibility greatly enhances the ability to individualize and customize the learning experience.
6. Brain Research and Learning Individuals bring a huge variety of skills, needs, and interest to learning. Brain Research reveals that there is three primary brain networks to learning.
7. Impact of UDL on Student Learning Knowing how the three brain networks function suggest different approaches for teaching information, for teaching skills and strategies, and for teaching students to love learning.
9. How does UDL Support Diversity? The flexibility of digital media and the varied resources available on the World Wide Web provide great opportunity for individualization However, care must be taken to structure any learning experiences so that the focus remains on the particular goal at hand This requires preparation and careful consideration of each learner’s needs and skills.
