What is UDL?
bathmasdelvings.blogspot.com
UDL was developed by the Center for Applied
Special Technology also known as CAST.
Visit their website for more information:
www.cast.org.
“Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a
framework for designing curriculum that
enables all individuals to gain knowledge, skills,
and enthusiasm for learning” (Cast.org, 2010)
Essentially, UDL is a method by which lessons
are designed with built in flexibility, so all
students can maximize their learning styles.
Typically, curriculum is designed to target the
average person with average skills.
With UDL you create an educational
environment and curriculum that “is more
inclusive of all students; their abilities, skills and
characteristics.
(Burgstahler, 2010)
The practice of UDL helps to create materials for
learning that can be used by all students, that is
compatible with “assistive technology, and
requires little need for additional
accommodations.” (Sopko, 2008, p1)
educationfuture.infodrchris.teachtown.com assistivetechnj.blogspot.comblog.uvm.edu
The Inspiration for UDL
UDL was inspired by
architectural concepts. We
have learned over time that
it is best to anticipate the
variety of people that will
have access to a building
prior to building it, because
it is much easier to consider
the accommodations at the
beginning, than it is to
retrofit the property after it
is built. (Laureate Education,
Inc., 2009)

In other words, UDL is the
design of learning goals,
and assessments that can
be used by all students no
matter the race, gender,
disability or learning style.

Examples from the Physical
Environment
• Elevators (physical
impairments)
• Handrails (elderly, very
young etc)
• Lavatories
• Sidewalk cutouts (wheel
chairs, strollers)
• Ramps
• Yellow stripes on stairs
(visually impaired)
• Adjustable Furniture
• Automatic Doors

The 3 Principles of UDL
Presentation
Expression
Engagement
Presentation
Presentation is the method by which students
receive information. Examples include:
• LCD Demonstrations
• Video tutorials
• Written handouts
• Outlines
• Internet accessibility baystateav.com
Expression
blog.miraclesoftskills.com
Expression is providing students with
multiple options that they can use to
demonstrate and showcase their
learning.
Examples include:
 Powerpoints  Voicethreads
 Written papers  Hand built artifacts
 Graphic Organizers  Videos
 Posters
Engagement
Engagement is developing content and delivering it
in such a way that it will capture “student interest,
challenge them appropriately, and motivate them
to learn.” (Sopko, 2008, p1)
Examples include:
• Guest speakers
• Examplars
• Simulations
• Engaging and relevant topics

Technology and UDL
Central Role of Technology in UDL
Technology helps to “level the playing field”
(Burgstahler, 2010, p2) for all students.
Technology offers a variety of:
• Out put devices (screen readers, videos)
• Input devices (keyboards, mouth sticks)
• Manipulation capabilities (software)
• Documentation (create a variety of artifacts)
What is the impact of UDL in my
school
www.clipartstock.net
Benefits for my school
• Equal opportunity for all students
• Flexibility (options)
• Relevant lessons
• Increased student ownership in learning
• Multiple ways of expressing knowledge
• Increased confidence due to successful
learning
UDL and the Brain
The Learning Brain
(Cast.org)
Brain Networks
“Learners cannot be reduced
to simple categories such as
"disabled" or "bright." They
differ within and across all
three brain networks, showing
shades of strength and
weakness that make each of
them unique. (Cast.org, 2010)
Learning is shared among all
three of these interconnected
networks
3 Brain Networks
Strategic Affective
Recognition
Recognition Brain Network
The Recognition network part of the brain is to
“receive and analyze information (the "what" of
learning).” (Cast.org, 2010)
• Assign meaning to what we see
• Identify information, ideas, concepts
Strategic Brain Network
fame.oln.org
The Strategic network is “specialized to plan
and execute actions (the "how" of learning).”
(Cast.org, 2010) This network determines:
• How you look at something
• Which approach to take to extract information
• Monitor information for knowledge
Affective Brain Network
fame.oln.org
The Affective network “evaluates and set
priorities (the "why" of learning).” (Cast.org,
2010) This network allows us to:
• Assign emotional significance
• Engage ourselves with tasks and learning
UDL and Diversity
libraries.rutgers.edu
How does UDL support Diversity
UDL is the method of designing curriculum
broad enough to include everyone. (Rose, 2010)
Technology is a diverse tool. It offers a
multitude of hardware and software options
that can be used to personalize lessons to fit
everyone’s needs no matter the gender, race,
age, ethnicity, disability or learning style.
How does Technology in UDL address
Brain Research
Technology is patient – a student can replay a tutorial
or learning video over and over until they master the
content.
Technology can – present the learning goals in a variety
of different ways to reach all learning styles
Technology provides – instant on-going feedback
