Universal Design for Learning

Audience/Context:
Faculty workshop, Lincoln Land Community College

Focus:
Applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to reduce barriers and support learner variability

Methods:
60-min interactive session including overview, concrete examples, guided analysis of assignment and syllabus design

Description:
This workshop introduced faculty to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a practical, research-informed framework for strengthening both rigor and accessibility. Participants examined structural barriers commonly embedded in course design, explored the three core UDL principles through applied examples, and engaged in short activities that connected UDL concepts directly to their own teaching materials.

Outcomes:
Faculty left with curated UDL resources, a clearer understanding of how UDL enhances rigor and inclusion, and one actionable next step to implement in their courses.
