Flexible Materials Are Available for Learners
UDL materials are varied, flexible, and provide different pathways for learners to progress toward the goal. This UDL Core Foundation resource was designed to help you better understand the importance of designing for flexible materials in the learning experiences.
Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based framework that can be used to anticipate human variability and to reduce learning barriers in the design of any environment. The UDL Guidelines are a tool for applying UDL to practice.
Knowledge Statements
The UDL Knowledge Statements (KS) were developed as part of the UDL credential initiative by Learning Designed. Together with the UDL Guidelines, these KS can be used to reflect on how the design of any learning experience anticipates variability and reduces barriers.
What is unique about “UDL” materials?
UDL materials are varied, flexible, and provide different pathways for learners to progress toward the goal.
UDL helps inform the selection of materials, which is not about finding the “right” material for a learner. Instead, it is about aligning flexible materials with the intended learning goal and ensuring that all can access and use the materials, as needed, from the start of a learning experience.
