I'm not sure there would be wide acceptance for the 'Universal Design for Learning' but I thought I'd present it anyways. Here are the three tenets:
- Multiple means of representation
- Multiple means of expression
- Multiple means of engagement
I question it right off because I think (say) that an opponent of learning styles would question the need for the first principle. But the framework isn't based on instructional outcomes (which is what these opponents focus on). "A key ingredient of inclusiveness is accessibility—students must be
able to both access and comprehend course materials in order to learn and must be offered
means of expressing their learning that is accessible to them." In that regard, I think UDL might be too narrow to account for all aspects of learning, and is focused on presentation more than pedagogy. Here's the full paper the article is based on.
