Abstract

The Universal Design for Learning framework comprises three principles that aim to accommodate all learners, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or learning preferences. The three principles - multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of expression - comprise practical guidelines that instructors can employ when designing their courses. When used in conjunction with principles from information design, instructional design, and web accessibility, instructors are more likely to develop courses that are inclusive, instructive, and usable. This paper outlines a case study of strategies and techniques that the author employed in a graduate course, and some challenges she encountered when implementing them.
