=All About Universal Design for Learning=

The audience for this presentation is educators of higher education to reflect the a basic understanding of UDL and the importance of it in K-12. The hope is that understanding will be open of avenues for more UDL curricula in higher education.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a way to teach all students giving them the same advantages to learning and mastering taught content. It is based on three main ideas: 1.) Multiple means of representation, to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge, 2.) Multiple means of action and expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know, and 3.) Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation (Mrs. Jeffers, 2010, para 1).

Using these main ideas educators, instructional designers, and the like can use technology to expand curicula and classroom activities to reach students at all learning abilities.
