Project Overview

UDL has been acknowledged as a best practice for teaching and learning in higher education. The basic premise of UDL is that
accessibility can be added to courses to benefit all learners, not just those with disabilities. These accessibility elements
include providing notes and slides to students and adding captions to videos. Many college faculty, however, are unsure how to
incorporate UDL in their courses and are unconvinced of its benefits. Some faculty perceive the implementation of UDL as too
much work for too little returns, usually as the result of a misconception about UDL.

This online, asynchronous training will cover what UDL is, its benefits, and how to incorporate it into online and face-to-face
course environments. It will provide faculty with information about UDL, implications for its use in online and in-person
course environments, and demonstrate how to utilize it in courses. It will dispel any misconceptions that faculty may have and
help faculty to understand the benefits for students.
