Session Description: There is no “typical” student; how can we design learning experiences that meet varied student needs? Using accessible design as a foundation, universal design for learning (UDL) can help us build resources that are flexible enough to engage a diverse group of learners. UDL includes giving students various ways of acquiring information, engaging with the content, and demonstrating understanding.
