Representation
From It6740 Udl
Representation refers to the multiple ways of providing content in different instructional settings. For example, a blind learner needs an audio representation as one of the options.
Answer the following:
- What other kinds of representations can you think of for other situations?
- What do our current technology options enable us to do?
In many respects it seems there are some close parallels to be drawn between the component of Representation in UDL and the general principles of multimedia. I offer an external site that I referenced during our Unit 5: Multimedia section as a prime example: 360 Degrees. This site combines video, audio, photos, graphics and animation into a rich, unified presentation permitting users to direct their own learning paths with their own consumption preference. In essence this site offers a variety of 'representations' of content and material related to the primary topic of the U.S. Justice System.
