Digital Accessibility & Universal Design for Learning
The aim of Universal Design for Learning is to provide multiple means of student engagement, representation, and expression. âUDL provides useful guidelines for developing curricula, selecting materials and creating learning environments that takes into account the wide variability of learners in higher ed environments.â (CAST)
We realize that making courses accessible to all students can be a challenge, but the solutions to these challenges neednât all be complicated or time-consuming. We hope that you find the blog posts and resources provided here easy to apply and helpful in understanding and developing accessible course content for our students.
