Universal Design in Education
Principles of Universal Design in Education provide a framework for designing curricula that enables all individuals to gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning. UDE provides support for learning and reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high achievement standards for all. (CAST, 2009).
Just One Thing
Join us to create "Just One Thing" to be useable by all. Designing instructional materials to be useable by everyone is a principle of Universal Design in Education (UDE).
The Challenge - Create "Just One Thing" in an accessible format:
- PDF Document
- PowerPoint Document
- Syllabus Web Page and/or Faculty Bio Page
- Word Processing Document
- Video Captioning
How does Universal Design relate to ATI?
The principles of Universal Design are based on teaching to all students regardless of their individual processing styles or characteristics. Disability is just one of many characteristics that an individual may possess. Designing ways to access information and technology in a fashion that is useable to everyone helps support the California State University's (CSU) ongoing commitment to provide access for individuals with disabilities.
