GSC strives to provide all students with a high-quality education that is accessible for all. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach of teaching that is aimed at meeting the needs of all students regardless of learning style or ability.
UDL offers a practical framework that guides the design of instructional goals, assessments, methods and materials, to help optimize learning for everyone based on scientific insights into how people learn.
As a GSC faculty member, you may already engage in UDL by:
- Presenting key content in more than one format, such as by providing activities, written discussion summaries and/or media-based content along with actively managing the weekly discussions
- Providing an appropriate variety and number of assessments (activities, learning checks, and assignments) to ensure that students can adequately demonstrate knowledge and skill in the subject
Incorporating UDL into your course ensures that all students are able to learn regardless of their individual learning styles or abilities. If you have questions about UDL and accessibility, please review the following:
GSC also offers the following resources to help you incorporate UDL into your current curriculum:
