This free hybrid workshop (via Brightspace and Zoom) provides a comprehensive introduction to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. Participants will learn why the UDL framework is important, how to apply its principles and guidelines to their own courses, and best practices for interacting with students with disabilities. Participants in this workshop will apply what they learn about UDL to design a new lesson or revise an existing lesson.
