What is the UDL@UL Community of Practice?
The University of Limerick Universal Design for Learning Community of Practice was established in 2021 by a group of staff facilitating the Digital Badge for Universal Design in Teaching and Learning developed by AHEAD and UCD Access and Lifelong Learning.
What is the purpose of the UDL@UL Community of Practice?
The UDL@UL Community of Practice aims to provide an opportunity for staff in UL to share ideas and practices relating to the application of UDL principles and framework with colleagues across the University.
The Community of Practice is also an informal space for staff assigned to support the embedding of UDL at UL to hear about the opportunities and challenges you have experienced in applying the principles. Join us to share your skills, knowledge and experiences with a view to developing resources and professional learning to support your needs.
In summary, the CoP provides an opportunity to:
· Share knowledge and practice
· Discuss the challenges and opportunities of engaging with UDL
· Create connections between teaching staff sharing similar interests
