Description
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework for improving and optimizing teaching and learning. It’s focused on intentionally designing for the needs and abilities of all learners—putting accessibility into the planning stages instead of as an accommodation after the fact—and providing flexibility in the ways students access and engage with materials and learning objectives.
In four parts, Universal Design for Learning in Academic Libraries: Theory into Practice explores UDL:
- Theory and Background
- In Instruction and Reference
- Behind the Scenes
- Beyond the Library
Universal Design for Learning in Academic Libraries can make learning about UDL and implementing it into your work quicker and easier, and provides ways to become an advocate for UDL inside your library and across campus.
