Universal Design For Learning - Design, Implement, Evaluate

Today I attended an all-day workshop on UDL (Universal Design For Learning), presented by Dave Edyburn (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee). We covered so much and it's such a complex concept but here are some things we learned & discussed:

• Technology Interventions to support student performance
• Designing UDL interventions
  
• Ways to implement UDL in classrooms
• Data collection - Measuring Outcomes of UDL interventions

OK - this will take some time to digest, integrate, apply and express - which I will attempt to offer in smaller chunks than the massive 7 hour profusion I got today.

Teachers Here's one example of an 'intervention to support student performance' -
A cool Math Tool for students - webMATH

What can students do with this tool?



Type a math problem into the boxes -> see each step to solving the problem & the correct answer

• For some it will review/ remind / reteach how to solve problems (Algebra for example).
• For some it will make it possible to do the work (our students with special needs).
  
• For students in the top 10% it might be used to verify answers.
• Some won't use it at all because they can do the work faster without it.
