Universal Design

General concepts

• Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework aimed at making learning accessible and effective for all students, regardless of their individual differences

Universal Design

Multiple Means of Engagement

Multiple Means of Representation

Multiple Means of Action and Expression

This principle highlights the importance of offering students multiple ways to showcase their learning. It recognizes that students have diverse abilities and preferences in how they express their knowledge, encouraging the use of various methods such as writing, speaking, drawing, or utilizing technology

This principle addresses the ways information is presented to students. Since students perceive and comprehend information differently, UDL promotes offering content in multiple formats, such as text, audio, video, and interactive media

This principle focuses on motivating students and keeping them engaged. It recognizes that students have different interests and preferences, so it encourages the use of various methods to capture their attention and sustain their motivation
