The presentation will provide research findings on the use of 3 universally designed instructional strategies as implemented in postsecondary classrooms.
Abstract
Universal design for learning (UDL) in postsecondary education is being presented as a viable concept for improving student engagement and learning while also addressing diverse learning needs and styles. However, there is limited research to support this claim. This presentation begins with an overview of UDL; followed by a presentation of research findings on the use of graphic organizers, guided notes, and the pause procedure, each of which can be considered UDL operationalized; and discussion.
