Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design in architecture emerged from the access needs of people with disabilities. Rather than retrofitting an existing building to make it accessible to those with disabilities, one who practices Universal Design would design the building to make it accessible to a broad spectrum of users from the very beginning.
Similarly, Universal Design in education refers to the design and development of educational materials that are accessible to a broad spectrum of learners with a wide array of abilities and disabilities.
Accoring to the [Center for Applied Special Technology] (CAST):
Universal Design for Learning calls for ...
Multiple means of representation, to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge, Multiple means of expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know, Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.
