INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER ROLE
“We are here to act as a catalyst…providing information based on research. This will enable you to take this information back to your classroom and use it as you need to deliver the best instruction to your students.”
Instructional designers, we want to… Champion Partner Support
TODAY’S OBJECTIVES By the end of today, you will be able to:
Relate to how you and others learn Define Active Learning Recognize the relationship between UDL and Active Learning
UDL – SYSTEMATIC VARIABILITY
Learners
• All learners are diverse at every age
Learning Environme
nts
• Variability exists within every learning environment

DOES THIS CHANGE THINGS?
ACTIVE LEARNING IS…
a process whereby students engage in activities, such as
reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving
that promote analysis, evaluation, and the creation of class content.

RESEARCH SAYS! Amount of information retained by
students declines substantially after 10 minutes (Thomas, 1972)
Students learn what they care about and remember what they understand. (Ericksen, 1984, p. 51)
Students who take courses with a more active approach report the following: Far more likely to have done the
reading Spent more hours on the work, and Participated more in class and were
more likely to view the class as a community. (Hogan, 2014)
WHY? Student-centered Builds community
You – facilitator/engager Students – owner/engagee
“Learn by doing” Can be done online or F2F

based on 3 Principles
Assessments
focus on accuracy
and timeliness
1. Have a definite beginning and ending;2. Have a clear purpose or objective;3. Contain complete and understandable
directions;4. Have a feedback mechanism; and5. Include a description of the

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Classroom at McGill University

WHAT ELSE MIGHT IT LOOK LIKE?
REFLECTION
Sit and reflect for a moment…
Are you already using Active Learning strategies in your classroom?
Think about the teaching style activity, how might Active Learning support diverse teaching and learning styles?
What are some strategies you would like to try?

THE GOAL: UDL & LEARNERS Creating Expert Learners that are…
Resourceful & Knowledgeabl
eStrategic &
Goal DirectedPurposeful &
Motivated
To develop learners,We will explore
Principle I: Providing Multiple Means of Representations
To develop learners,We will explore
Principle II: Providing Multiple
Means of Action & Expression
To develop learners,We will explore Principle III:
Providing Multiple Means of
Engagement
I: PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF REPRESENTATION
Breakdown of Principle I The “What” of Learning Learners differ in the ways that
they perceive and comprehend information that is presented to them.
Provide options for Comprehension Language, Mathematical
expressions, and symbols Perception
PRINCIPLE I: TOOLS YOU CAN USE
Concept Mapping Supports Guidelines:
3.4: Maximize transfer and generalization
6.2: Support planning and strategy development
Tools: MS Word or PowerPoint Paper/Pens Bubbl.us (free) Mindmeister
(3 maps for Free account – Edu account - $30/6mths)
Visuwords and Math Open Reference Supports Guidelines:
2.5: Illustrate through multiple media

II: PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF ACTION & EXPRESSION
Breakdown of Principle II The “How” of Learning Learners differ in the ways that
they can navigate a learning environment and express what they know.
Provide options for: Executive functions (goal-
setting, planning, etc.) Expression and communication Physical action
PRINCIPLE II: TOOLS YOU CAN USE

III: PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGEMENT
Breakdown of Principle III The “Why” of learning Affect represents a crucial
element to learning, and learners differ markedly in the ways in which they can be engaged or motivated to learn.
Provide option for: Self-regulation Sustained effort and persistence Recruiting interest
PRINCIPLE III: TOOLS YOU CAN USE

THINGS TO CONSIDER Start slow
Scaffold on easier tasks and build to more interactive/complex tasks Time
Don’t take it all on at once…think about where and how you can use the strategies in certain lessons a little at a time
Reflect After each session ask: “What worked? What didn’t? How can I improve
on ‘x’ for next time?” Ask students for constructive feedback at the end of sessions
