Universal Design for Learning: Crafting Inclusive Educational Experiences
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. It's an approach that aims to provide every individual with an equal opportunity to learn by designing educational experiences that are flexible and accommodating from the start. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, UDL emphasizes creating learning environments that can adapt to the wide range of learner variability present in any group.
