Universal Design for Learning in Reflective Journaling and Discussions for Adult Learners in Online Courses
Keywords
Reflection, UDL, Discussion, Online Teaching
Session Abstract
The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework is often associated with special education in P12 schools, however, the principles can be just as beneficial to adult learners. This session offers lessons learned in the concurrent development of graduate courses and a faculty development program that incorporated UDL with successful outcomes.
Session Description
Presented from the instructor and student perspective, this session will provide an overview of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and some lessons learned in the implementation of the framework into two different, yet connected areas of adult learning at a large southern public university. Session will explore the development of two types of typical online course activities (the discussion board and the reflective journal) and how the UDL framework transformed the outcomes of both of these assignments in faculty development and graduate studies.
