Universal Design for Learning Intro

Universal design originated in architecture to design buildings that are accessible to all from the beginning rather than retrofitting later. In education, universal design aims to accommodate diverse learner needs through alternatives and options rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The brain works through three main networks - recognition networks for identifying facts, strategic networks for thinking and problem-solving, and affective networks for motivation and emotions. Technology tools can support universal design by assisting learners in various ways.
Universal Design for Learning Intro
- 1. Diversity In Learning Foundations of Universal Design Learning – Universal Design Modified from Courtney DeRosa Walden University Instructor: Evelyn Thompson 6714I-3: Reaching and Engaging all Learners Through Technology July 10, 2010 & Gary Braman – East Stroudsburg University
- 2. Discussion - Grocery Stores: What accommodations are made for differences? Who benefits from the accommodations?
- 3. Origins of Universal Design • Originated in the field of architecture • Design buildings with built-in accessibility for everyone • Superior to retrofitting buildings • Accommodate diverse individual needs
- 4. Universal Design • Not one size fits all – but alternatives • Designed from the beginning, not added on later. • Increases access opportunities for everyone
- 5. Review Question • From what field does the concept of universal design come? Architecture
- 7. What is going on in the brain when learning?
- 8. Split the brain into 3 parts: Recognition Networks Strategic Networks Affective Networks
- 9. Brain Research Strategic Networks Recognition Networks Affective Networks Laureate, 2009
- 10. Recognition Networks • Note: quantity of the brain – Back Half of Brain – Sensory Pattern Recognition – Gather facts and recognize familiarity – Ex: rose smells orwhat a tree looks like. • http://udlonline.cast.org/p age/module1/l144/
- 12. Strategic • Planning, organizing, problem solving, critical thinking • Examples: knowing how to respond to questions on a test, taking notes • http://udlonline.cast. org/page/module1/l1 48/
- 13. Strategic
- 14. Review Questions • What network is used to recognize your friend’s face? Recognition Network • What network in the brain is used to think about the various perspectives of global warming? Strategic Network • What part of the network is used to know the term global warming? Recognition Network
- 15. Affective Networks • Motivation, feelings, priorities, interests • Think: High school, prom, first day of college • http://udlonline.cast. org/page/module1/l 152/
- 16. Review & Discussion Question • When you find out that you have to pay a parking ticket, what part of of brain is activated? Affective Network • When you hear that you have a test coming up, how does your brain work?
- 17. Which network do we focus on the most in school? Why could this be a problem?
- 18. Central Role Of Technology Assistive Technology • Tools to assist learner UDL • Barrier free learning environment Combination required for student success Retrieved from: http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/presentations/AIR_Toolkit/HTML/11_UDL_and_AT/slide_11_01.htm

Field of Neuroscience – Neuroeducation…tells us a lot. For example. Background to the brain: Hundred Billion neurons about # of stars in the milky way galaxy. Each neuron connected to other neurons - up to 40,000 connections * 100,000,000,000 X more connections than stars in the universe!
