HCII’s Accessibility Seminar is excited to welcome a panel of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) experts this week! We especially encourage all instructors to attend to learn accessible teaching techniques. COVID has quickly transformed how education is delivered and has amplified the need for accessibility to be built into our practices and pedagogies. However, even pre-pandemic, research has shown that most students who need them do not request accommodations, but thoughtfully practiced UDL can decrease the burden of making specialized requests and improve all students’ experiences in the classroom. If resources are proliferating, getting started with UDL can be difficult. These experts will provide an overview of UDL and offer suggestions for how you can make your instruction more accessible for everyone.
