Universal Design is the design of products and environments to be usable by everyone, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” (DO-IT, www.washington.edu/doit)
Universal Design for Learning/Instruction
![Page 4: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning
“[Universal Design for Learning] UDL provides a blueprint for creating flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that accommodate learner differences. ‘Universal’ does not imply a single optimal solution for everyone. Instead, it is meant to underscore the need for multiple approaches to meet the needs of diverse learners.” (CAST, www.cast.org)
![Page 5: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is UDL?
“The design of instructional materials and activities that makes the learning goals achievable by individuals with wide differences in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, attend, organize, engage, and remember…. by means of flexible curricular materials and activities that … are built into the instructional design and operating systems of educational materials—they are not added on after-the-fact.” (Council for Exceptional Children)
![Page 6: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is UDL?
Simply stated, UDL is good teaching.
![Page 7: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Need for UDL Increasingly diverse college student body
40% 25 or older 31% racial/ethnic minorities 34% attending college part-time 20% increase in international students from
1998-200 Students with disabilities increased from 2.3% in
1978 to 9.8% in 1998 (Henderson, 1998) Estimates are upwards of 11% in 2013
(Landmark)
![Page 8: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Need for UDL Increasing focus on student retention Shift in pedagogy from delivering
instruction to promoting learning (Fink, 2003)
Barriers reported by students with disabilities include: Unclear expectations Textbooks inaccessible Classes taught in lecture format requiring
extensive notetaking Difficulty attaining accommodations
![Page 9: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Origins of UDL The foundation for UDL is architecture Buildings, like instruction, are often
designed for the “average” person Buildings then need to be retrofitted
to accommodate other individuals Retrofits (e.g., wooden ramp) are often
expensive, ugly/call attention to user, solve only one problem at a time
![Page 10: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Origins of UDL
Universal design “consider[s] the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning” (Ron Mace, architect; CAST, 2003)
Buildings designed universally from the beginning, not as an add-on
Increases access for many unintended users
E.g., Ramps, curb cuts, electric doors, captions
![Page 11: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Seven Universal Design Principles (Story, Mueller, & Mace, 1998)
Equitable use Flexibility in use Simple and intuitive Perceptible information Tolerance for error Low physical effort Size and space for approach and
use
![Page 12: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Universal Design for Learning Adds two more(Scott, McGuire, & Shaw, 2001)
A community of learners
Instructional climate
![Page 13: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Equitable Use Instruction is designed to be useful to and
accessible by people with diverse abilities. Instruction is identical whenever possible, equivalent when not.
E.g., All students use pause procedure, guided notes, and graphic organizers; not just those with disabilities/low achievers.
![Page 14: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Equitable Use
![Page 15: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Flexibility in Use Instruction is designed to accommodate a
wide range of individual abilities. Allow for alternative means of expression for demonstrating mastery of course content.
E.g., Using varied instructional methods such as lectures with a visual outline, group activities, hands-on activities, & web based discussions. Allow students the option of doing an oral presentation, writing a paper, or taking a test.
![Page 16: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Flexibility in Use
![Page 17: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simple and Intuitive Instruction is designed in a
straightforward and predictable manner. Eliminate unnecessary complexity.
E.g., clear grading rubric, accurate and
comprehensive syllabus, guided notes, graphic organizers, notes provided in advance.
![Page 18: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Perceptible Information Necessary information is communicated
effectively to the students. Provide alter-native representations of essential concepts to allow students to learn course content through their preferred mean.
E.g., use multimedia and have textbooks and other reading materials available in digital format or online for students who learn through hearing.
![Page 20: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Tolerance for Error Instruction anticipates variation in
individual student learning pace and prerequisite skills.
E.g., option of turning in project components for feedback, online “practice” exercises, pause procedure, guided notes.
![Page 22: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Low Physical Effort Minimize nonessential physical effort
in order to allow maximum attention to learning (does not apply when physical effort is integral to the course).
E.g., Allow students to use a word processor for writing essay exams or a recorder to “take” notes.
![Page 24: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Size and Space in Approach and Use
Consider appropriate size and space for approach, reach, manipulations, and use.
E.g., In small class settings, use of a circular seating arrangement allows students to see and face speakers during discussion.
![Page 26: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

A Community of Learners The instructional environment promotes
interaction and communication among students and between students and faculty.
E.g., Structure study groups, discussion groups, e-mail lists, and chat rooms; make a personal connection with students; learn students’ names; individually acknowledge excellent performance; & use pause procedure (w/lectures).
![Page 28: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Instructional Climate Instruction is designed to be welcoming
and inclusive. High expectations are in place for all students.
E.g., Highlight diverse thinkers who have made significant contributions to the field or share innovative approaches developed by students in the class.

UDL – The Research Base
Limited experimental research located examining the effectiveness of UDL in postsecondary environments.
UDL is an umbrella term (i.e., a set of principles) that is difficult to assess.
![Page 32: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
UDL - Operationalized
There are practices consistent with the principles of UDL.
Researchers at the University of Hawai`i operationalized the principles of UDL to conduct research.
![Page 33: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The Pause Procedure: What is it? Provide students with short (e.g., 2-
minute), periodic breaks to review notes and discuss content
Pauses typically given at natural breaks in class approximately every 15 minutes
Pauses can be An independent review of notes and/or
short reflective writing assignment A group (often dyad) discussion of notes
![Page 35: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Guided Notes: What are they?
Guided notes are teacher prepared handouts that guide students through a lecture
Identify the most important course content that students must learn and retain via lecture. Less can be more.
Delete key facts, concepts, and relationships from the lecture outline, leaving the remaining information to structure and contextualize students’ note taking.
![Page 36: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Guided Notes: How to …
Insert cues (e.g., asterisks, lines, bullets) to indicate where and how many facts or concepts to write.
Use other symbols to indicate where students can add own examples/answer questions for review () or to emphasize “big ideas” ()
Leave plenty of space to write and don’t require too much writing
Include additional resources such as URLs and references
![Page 37: Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ff5550346895dab1950/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Graphic Organizers: What are They? A graphic organizer is a visual and
graphic display that depicts the relationships between facts, terms, and or ideas within a learning task.
Examples include: Advanced organizers, Venn diagrams, concept/spider/story maps, flowcharts, hierarchies In contrast to one-dimensional outlines
