Univerzální design pro vzdělávání

Univerzální design pro učení (UDL) je holistický přístup ke vzdělávání, jehož cílem je poskytnout všem studentům potřebnou podporu, aby mohli uspět na své studijní cestě. Skládá se ze tří pilířů s řadou pokynů, které vám pomohou změnit způsob interakce se studenty. Vytvořila jej nezisková skupina pro výzkum v oblasti vzdělávání s názvem CAST a byl již ověřen a přijat tisíci učiteli po celém světě. Poskytuje nezbytné kroky k přeměně tříd na inkluzivní a spravedlivé prostředí.

The UDL methodology is divided into 3 main pillars: Engagement, Representation and Action&Expression

The 3 pillars of UDL: Engagement, Representation, Action and Expreession

We present here a snapshot of this powerful methodology for inclusion. A series of videos and recommendations are included here to help you get started in your UDL journey

Introduction to UDL resources

This suite of resources offers an introduction to the concept of Universal Design for Learning and one of the key tools educators across the globe use to translate this concept into practice.

Video 1 explores the concept, video 2 focuses on the UDL framework developed by CAST and video 3 looks at two strategies to apply UDL in practice.

Podcasts and Videos

Think UDL is a podcast about Universal Design for Learning where we hear from the people who are designing and implementing strategies in post-secondary settings with learner variability in mind.

The UDL Approach https://theudlapproach.com/podcasts/

(a) UDL in 15 Minutes – The Podcast is our original podcast where educators and UDL leaders share their experiences and thoughts on implementing and using UDL.
(b) UDL Research in 15 Minutes – The Podcast is our newer Podcast where researchers share their findings about the implementation, the impact, and their investigations of the Universal Design for Learning framework.

Na stránkách UDL @ UL YouTube channel includes videos from staff and University of Limerick, Ireland students discussing their UDL practice.
Na stránkách DisabilityAwareness elearning channel includes videos from experts in the area of
inclusive education including discussion on UDL in practice.

UDL networks

INCLUDE: International Collaboratory for Leadership in Universally Designed Education: a global network of researchers, students, and practitioners committed to strengthening outcomes for all learners. INCLUDE aims to link colleagues for partnership and support in the research and design, implementation, innovation, and exploration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

Na stránkách UDLHE Network is a special interest group of the UDL-IRN and a place to collaborate with others in higher education who are working towards the intentional development of UDL initiatives to increase the quality of learning for the predictable variability of students and faculty today.
