Description:
What is UDL and why is there a push from the federal education system and now local special education administration to include this type of pedagogy in education?  This session will be a perfect opportunity for the distance education learner to gain an overview on the principals of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the importance of building access for all students in the classroom.  From the digital native to English Language Learners -- the UDL framework affords flexibility in the curriculum.  Join us for an enlightening peek of practical UDL applications.
