SUNY Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Spring 2023 Online Offerings

The SUNY Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Student Empowerment Initiative seeks to provide support for SUNY to be a model of excellence of inclusive pedagogy in higher education by training SUNY faculty and instructional designers in the Universal Design for Learning framework.

The SUNY Center for Professional Development is offering several options for professional development for the UDL project available to SUNY faculty and instructional designers.

These two-day workshops are delivered over Zoom and supplemented with additional activities and instructional materials (available on D2L Brightspace). Participants who successfully complete the requirements of this workshop (which includes designing a lesson plan based on the UDL framework) will earn a digital badge.

  • In-Person Workshops: One-day, face-to-face workshops delivered on multiple SUNY campuses. Participants from around the SUNY system are encouraged to attend an Introduction to Universal Design for Learning workshop on their own or at a neighboring SUNY campus.

  • Access for All Webinar Series: Also referred to as Scaled Webinars, these are a series of one-hour online webinars addressing specific topics of interest related to Universal Design for Learning and Accessibility in higher education. Can’t attend? No problem! All sessions will be recorded and available on the UDL site.

  • Asynchronous Online Course: REGISTRATION COMING SPRING 2023. A self-paced online course (delivered on D2L Brightspace) providing an introduction to the Universal Design for Learning framework. Participants who successfully complete the requirements of this workshop will earn a digital badge.
