UNIVERSAL DESIGN
FOR LEARNING
Presented by: Robin A. Lemire
(EDUC 7109 – 1) Diverse Learners and Technology
Dr. Rebekah McPherson
Ed.S in Educational Technology
“The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of
content knowledge or use of new technologies. It is the mastery of the learning
process. Education should help turn novice learners into expert learners—individuals
who want to learn, who know how to learn strategically, and who, in their own highly
individual and flexible ways, are well prepared for a lifetime of learning. Universal Design
for Learning (UDL) helps educators meet this goal by providing a framework for
understanding how to create curricula that meets the needs of all learners from the start.”
~ CAST (2011)
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND UDL
“The design of products and environments
to be usable by all people, to the greatest
extent possible, without the need
for adaptation or specialized design.”
~ Ronald Mace

THREE NEURAL NETWORKS OF UDL
Recognition Networks
The “what” of learning
Strategic Networks
The “how” of learningAffective Networks
The “why” of learning
How we gather facts
and categorize what
we see, hear, and read.
Identifying letters,
words, or an author’s
style are recognition
tasks.
Planning and
performing tasks. How
we organize and
express our ideas.
Writing an essay or
solving a math problem
are strategic tasks.
How learners get
engaged and stay
motivated. How they
are challenged, excited,
or interested. These are
affective dimensions.

WHAT DOES BRAIN RESEARCH TELL
US ABOUT LEARNING DIFFERENCES?
“Advances in neuroscience and education research
over the past 40 years have reshaped our
understanding of the learning brain. One of the
clearest and most important revelations stemming
from brain research is that there is no such thing as
a regular student.”
