2. Universal
Design for
Learning
Dr. Rose explained
UDL was first
developed to teach
architects better ways
to design their
buildings so ALL
people would be able
to enter their
buildings.
3. Once the concept was
understood…
•Ramps and elevators now replace stairs so that all people can enter buildings and
visit every floor.
•Blind people can now read remotes in Braille and hear sound signals at crosswalks.
•Closed caption T.V. helps people read so they can enjoy T.V.
4. The Three Principles of
UDL:
1. Provide Multiple and Flexible
Means of Representation
2. Provide Multiple and Flexible
Means of Action & Expression
3. Provide Multiple and Flexible
Means of Engagement
5. Examples of Multiple Means of Representations
Perception Comprehension Language
Provide same Point out key ideas Provide options for
information through Highlight key ideas & language to be

of learning.
11. How does UDL support
cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and
academic diversity?
Use a variety of technology to
support diverse learners
Designed so all students can learn
Use multimedia tools so that all
races, genders, and cultural
backgrounds can learn
12. Central Role of
UDL in Technology
Key to UDL is in the planning.
Technology + UDL principles = Learning for ALL students
Meet student needs by:
Providing different ways to show information
Provide choices in ways students demonstrate their knowledge
Engage students
Include content choices and lesson choices
