Learning Outcomes for Today• Introduce principles of Universal Design for
Learning (UDL) in order to provide a foundation for implementation of UDL-based IL instruction.
• Share techniques for facilitating active learning in order to brainstorm ways to shift IL instruction toward UDL practice.
The UDL Framework…
…offers flexible instructional materials, techniques, and strategies to help instructors to differentiate instruction to meet students’ varied needs.
UDL at a Glance
UDL helps us, as instructors, to:
modify the learning environment, not the learner
recognize “learner variability” as the norm
remove barriers through thoughtful, proactive design
carefully consider goals
Why UDL for Information Literacy Instruction?Most classrooms we enter as information literacy instructors
include students with diverse abilities and backgrounds.
Student engagement can be a challenge since most of us teach in other instructors’ classrooms.
UDL Guidelines align with the Information Literacy Framework.
UDL provides options for:• Presenting information and content in different ways (the "what" of learning)
• Differentiating the ways that students can express what they know (the "how" of learning)
• Stimulating interest and motivation for learning (the "why" of learning)

Goals of UDL:Improving student access, engagement and achievement
Eliminating or reducing academic (and physical) barriers
Valuing diversity through proactive design
