The concept of universal design (UD) emerged from architecture, with the basics of building design adapted to offer access for all. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn through the creation of flexible learning and assessment environments, including the use of technology to increase the opportunities for success for all students, including those living with physical and other disabilities.
The UDL framework embraces the idea of teacher creativity in developing teaching and learning strategies and assessment techniques that are effective for all learners, while preserving the integrity of the course and the achievement of its objectives. UDL creates a learning culture in which diversity is accepted and embraced, and where all students are encouraged to learn and demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of ways.
In this seminar UDL in the context of legal education will be explored and the different ways of creating learning objectives, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone, rather than a single, one-size-fits-all solution will be considered.
Presenter: Geoff Holland, Lecturer in Law
