Current Events & Workshops
Have you heard colleagues talking about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) but still not sure what exactly UDL is about? Our 45-minute workshops explore the concept of Universal Design for Learning and discusses how the student experience can be enhanced by applying the principles of UDL in teaching, learning and assessment. Participants will also be introduced to the internationally recognised UDL framework, which offers practical ideas for applying the principles of UDL in practice.
