Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in Postsecondary Settings
Definition of Universal Design
“Universal Design is the design of products and environments to be usable by everyone, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” (DO-IT, University of Washington)
Universal Design for Learning
“[Universal Design for Learning] UDL provides a blueprint for creating flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that accomodate learner differences. ‘Universal’ does not imply a single optimal solution for everyone. Instead, it is meant to underscore the need for multiple approaches to meet the needs of diverse learners.” (CAST, www.cast.org)
