Learning Outcomes for Today Introduce Universal Design for Learning

Concepts (UDL) in order to generate ideas for UDL-based classroom instruction

Share anecdotal and experiential evidence of classroom diversity in order to understand the role of diversity in UDL practices

Document personal UDL understanding in order to further develop a collective set of UDL instructional practices

Page 4: UDL@Cook Library: Implementing UDL Practices in Information Literacy Instruction

The UDL Framework……offers flexible instructional materials, techniques, and strategies to help us differentiate instruction to meet students’ varied needs.

UDL helps us: Modify the learning environment, not the

learner

Recognize “learner variability” as the norm

Remove barriers through thoughtful, proactive design

Carefully consider goals

UDL provides options for:Presenting information and content in

different ways (the "what" of learning) (ThinkBook, p.13)

Differentiating the ways that students can express what they know (the "how" of learning) (ThinkBook, p.13)

Stimulating interest and motivation for learning (the "why" of learning) (ThinkBook, p.14)

Why UDL for Information Literacy Instruction? Most classrooms we enter as information

literacy instructors include students with diverse abilities and backgrounds.

UDL Guidelines align with the Information Literacy Framework.

Goals of UDL:Improving student access, engagement

and achievement

Eliminating or reducing academic (and physical) barriers

Valuing diversity through proactive design
