Universal Design for Learning
“Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a concept or framework that improves or optimizes teaching and learning for everyone in any learning environment. UDL extends from the classroom to service areas; it filters through student, faculty, and/or staff support service areas. Some UDL principles are applied to multiple situations, such as IT Help Desk, counseling sessions, and university websites.”
