Universal design for learning
Jul 31, 2011
Nice post highlighting the advantages of accessible learning (also, dig the nifty presentation pack on her about page). It should show us that we need to design for diversity generally. "We make assumptions that all people who are ‘normal’ have brains that function in pretty much the same way when doing certain tasks. Yet research shows that multiple areas of the brain fire up when doing tasks and the degree to which particular areas fire up varies like a thumbprint." This means looking at the different aspects of the educational experience and thinking about how to serve diverse needs. See also David Rose's presentation, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) .
