Universal+Design+WebQuest

Universal Design for Learning is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, that guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences. Curriculum, as defined in the UDL literature, has four parts: instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments. UDL is intended to increase access to learning by reducing physical, cognitive, intellectual, and organizational barriers to learning, as well as other obstacles.

For this virtual class period you will be completing an independent WebQuest to learn more about the concept of Universal Design for Learning. Go to the following link

and follow the step by step directions to complete the WebQuest, with one exception: You do NOT have to write a UDL lesson plan, as indicated in Step 5. You will only have to turn in:

A written or visual diagram giving an overview of UDL AND A Venn Diagram comparing traditional instruction with UDL
