4.3 Universal Design For Learning

2.1. UDL Explore

This is your opportunity to experience a traditional versus a universally designed lesson.

1. Launch the module below and experience the difference.
2. While you're exploring, think about: 
   1. Does your level of engagement change between the two lessons? How?
   2. Is it easier to understand the concepts when more robust options are offered?
3. At the end of the exploration, you'll be asked to indentify the barriers you experienced in the traditional lesson and the enablers that were present in the UDL lesson. This is important. You will be using this process in the UDL Do section of this module.
4. In addition to identifying the barriers you experienced in the traditional lesson think about how you might have considered those barriers prior to planning your own lessons. What enablers might you have embedded in your lesson to avoid meeting any barriers. Proactive planning that includes thinking about the barriers before presenting the lesson will allow you to meet student needs before the lesson begins. 
5. Once you've completed this section of the module, open the file Limiting Reagents Barriers & Enablers Organizer Model to check your work.
