This brief overview of the history and principles of UDL will help continue the discussion as we move into the last part of our series on UDL in ECE next week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">History of Universal Design for Learning<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">UDL derived from the field of architecture, known as Universal Design (UD) (Spooner et al., 2007). Universal Design implemented principles designed to address barriers of physical space for all people, which included those with physical and mental disabilities (Spooner et al., 2007). UD was initially used for guiding the planning of physical spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">Seven Core Design Principles of Universal Design<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">1. Equitable use<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">2. Flexibility in use<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">3. Simple and intuitive<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">4. Perceptible information\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">5. Tolerance for error\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">6. Low physical effort\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">7. Size and space for approach and use\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">The Evolution of UDL<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">UDL was developed in 1998, and was touted as a possible solution for providing educators the tools to develop the ability to teach all students. UDL was designed by the Center for Applied Special Technology, also known as CAST. This center established the National Center on Accessing the General Curriculum (NCAC; 1999); a five-year program designed to improve accessibility of the curriculum to students with disabilities (CAST, 2015). NCAC was a federally funded project, and through this project, UDL was constructed to cover a large variety of learning differences among all students. One way to do this was by utilizing materials and methods deemed as \u201cflexible\u201d to accommodate learners within educators&#8217; lesson plans. Although NCAC has been eliminated, some of the projects&#8217; accomplishments, such as UDL, continue today. UDL can assist educators in designing adjustable objectives, strategies, and assessments which welcome all learners regardless of ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">Framework for UDL\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">3 components:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">\u2022 Multiple means of\u00a0<b><i>representation<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">\u2022 Multiple means of\u00a0<b><i>expression<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">\u2022 Multiple means of\u00a0<b><i>engagement<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to tap into learners\u2019 interests, offer appropriate challenges, and\u00a0increase\u00a0motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">References <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">C<\/span><span style=\"margin: 0px;color: black;font-size: 11pt\">enter for Applied Special Technology (2015).
