This course introduces the UDL framework through a blend of concise theory and hands-on practice. We will examine the three core principles—multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement—and translate them into classroom-ready lesson designs, adaptable materials, and assessment strategies. Activities include case analyses, collaborative unit planning, micro-teaching, peer feedback, and tool exploration (LMS features, accessibility tools, multimedia authoring, and UDL templates). The programme emphasises practical, transferable strategies that teachers can implement immediately to reduce barriers and foster inclusive learning.
Primary Objectives
