Join us in this interactive workshop for a hands-on exploration of Open UDL, a new pedagogical approach at the intersection of Open Educational Practices (OEP) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) that we developed for one of our advanced faculty workshops. After a short introduction to the ways UDL and OEP complement each other, we will dive into interactive group activities to map the overlap of the principles of both approaches, review assessments from various disciplines through the Open UDL lens, and develop next steps for your own Open UDL practice. There will be plenty of time for discussion, plus we will provide a digital swagbag of resources, hoping you will leave feeling inspired and equipped to explore Open UDL and apply it to your courses, programs, or instructional design practice. This workshop is designed to benefit instructors, course developers, program directors, instructional designers, and CTL staff.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Define Open UDL; ie., identifying how UDL guidelines overlap with the attributes of OER and Open Pedagogy.
- Critique sample assignments and assessments through the lens of Open UDL.
- Articulate one achievable next step for implementing Open UDL in their courses, their programs, or their instructional design practice.
