Flexible Learning Environments By Design, Joni Degner, Bryan Dean, Alexis Reid

Flexible Learning Environments By Design

The environment is the context in which learning takes place. It mirrors the ideas, values, attitudes, and cultures of those who use the space. Educators must utilize the learning environment to communicate the beliefs that learners should be at the center of the learning experience and that intentional and inclusive pedagogy are valued in the space.

About

Universal Design for Learning framework is based on a notion of intentional and systematic process to design instruction to allow for options, flexibility, and access. During COVID-19 pandemic, instructors had to switch the modality of their teaching which exposed inherent barriers in their instruction, lack of preparation to offer flexibility, and lack of training in UDL. This presentation will describe the results of a survey of teachers’ perceptions and reflections on their COVID-19 teaching experiences, their professional preparation, and barriers they encountered. Implications for future practice and professional development will be discussed, including the audience feedback.
