Universal Design DCU Best Practices

Please share examples of how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) was implemented in your teaching/service.

UDL is a set of principles that gives all individuals equal opportunities to engage and learn. This is achieved through representing information in multiple ways/formats, allowing students to engage through a variety of means and giving students options in how they demonstrate their learning/skills. For more information on UDL, please visit the CAST website.

If you would like more information on the project, please contact Universal Design Coordinator, aoife.mcnicholl@dcu.ie

What UD changes have you made to your teaching/service?

In what way did these changes incorporate UDL principles? (i.e. multiple means of engagement, representation or action and expression)

What was the impact of the UDL implementation? (e.g. on students, within your own teaching/service, within the wider DCU community)
