This 90-minute dynamic and interactive (not “sit and get”!) session will focus briefly on theoretical concepts to activate or supply background knowledge for participants, and then provide practical guidance and experience for the why and how of designing learning experiences with UDL.

Context: Building on the UDL@UL project and with the leadership for UDL being formally transferred to the Center for Transformative Learning (CTL), this session is intended to help support interest, knowledge, and practical skill aid the next wave of practical implementation of UDL at the University. This is an open webinar so other HEIs and interested parties are more than welcome to join us so as to bring in valuable inter-institutional perspectives.

Session: This 90-minute dynamic and interactive (not “sit and get”!) session will focus briefly on theoretical concepts to activate or supply background knowledge for participants, and then provide practical guidance and experience for the why and how of designing learning experiences with UDL.

This event will take place online, details will be sent to you Wednesday 25 January 2023.
