Universal Design for Learning Workshop

The campus community is invited to participate in a workshop on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), hosted by the Department of Student Affairs and delivered by Frédéric Fovet. Faculty of Education (Graduate and Certificate Courses) and UDL and Inclusion Consultant (www.implementudl.com); Megan MacKenzie; and Cathy Rose. Universal Design for Learning is a framework to optimize teaching and learning by considering the “why”, “what”, and “how” of learning. As our Accessibility services are nearing capacity and an increasing number of students are using these services, the UDL framework can be used in higher education to address the very pressing need of delivering sustainable, inclusive instruction.

In this workshop, we will explore the UDL framework, discuss how faculty and staff can use UDL to better meet the learning needs of their students, and share some real, simple examples of how UDL principles can be implemented.

The workshop will happen on Thursday, March 3, 2016 from 1-3pm in the SDU Main Building Faculty Lounge. Refreshments will be served.
