Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn, including Students with Disabilities. UDL aims to improve the educational experience of all students by introducing more flexible methods of teaching, assessment and service provision to cater for the diversity of learners in our classrooms. This approach is underpinned by research in the field of neuroscience and is designed to improve the learning experience and outcomes for all students.
AHEAD is an independent non-profit organisation working to create inclusive environments in education and employment for people with disabilities.
Excellence in Teaching webinar with Trevor Boland of Ahead
Trevor will provide a virtual workshop as part of the CCT Excellence in Teaching Series in which a fictional module descriptor and associated teaching and assessment approach will be reviewed with a view to embedding the principles of universal design.
Trevor is a highly experienced UDL practitioner. He works as Digital Media and E-Learning Officer at Ahead and is also part of a team that delivers a national iteration of a National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning/Ahead digital badge on Universal Design in Teaching and Learning. The event will be co-hosted by Marie O’ Neill, Head of Enhancement and Denis Cummins, Dean of School.
