Online Introduction to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the Classroom Training 1.0 Course is an online, 8-week training course that engages faculty in utilizing the concepts of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in their own courses. UDL is an approach to teaching, aimed at meeting the needs of all students in the classroom. UDL-aligned strategies are instructional methods and tools utilized by teachers to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to learn. By the end of the class, participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts of UDL. Participants will create activities that can be utilized in their own courses. The activities will add a UDL component to each of the areas of Content, Engagement, and Assessment. All instruction takes place online. Faculty members who successfully complete this professional development course receive extra compensation of $100 (pre-tax) after completing an assessment of the training course. The online course will run from Monday, January 28, 2019 through Monday, April 1, 2019. If you have questions about the content of this course, please contact Cathy Deaderick (cathy.deaderick@ws.edu).
