Abstract: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs (CAST, 2012). This roundtable will share experiences of two higher education faculty members as they apply the principles of UDL in two areas: faculty professional learning and course and material design. Participants will learn strategies for beginning UDL implementation.
