Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that helps us to create flexible and inclusive learning opportunities to meet the diverse needs of all learners. 

In this workshop we will introduce UDL and explore how it can help us proactively design for learner variability. 

We will explore common barriers to learning and ways to minimise them. We will also discuss strategies for getting started with UDL and provide you with pathways to further your learning.
