Crowdsourcing class notes was a UDL based tool used in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, T-560 course: Meeting the Challenge of Individual Differences, taught by David Rose and colleagues. This session presents findings from a mixed-methods research study that utilized an expanded version of crowdsourcing class notes in fourteen higher education courses with over 700 undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to class notes, students crowdsourced executive summaries and visual representations of class sessions with peers through the learning management system. This research study sought to understand how students use crowdsourced materials, and about using the materials. Participants will leave the session understanding benefits of crowdsourcing student materials and recommendations for future implementation of the tool in higher education courses.

The UDL-PLC series consists of 15 modules that guide the development of a UDL professional learning community (PLC). Each module has 2 segments: Learn and Discuss. 

While UDL-PLC modules can be viewed in any order, we suggest that you be sure to view following module, which serves as introductions to the series. 

• Introduction To Developing A PLC: UDL-PLC Module Series

With demands on their time increasing, teachers have difficulty accomplishing all that needs to be done in a 24 hour day. At the same time, practical solutions to the problem are rarely discussed. In this session we'll examine the myriad benefits of sharing teacher-created materials and practical issues around materials sharing.

The UDL-PLC series provides you with 15 modules that guide the development of a professional learning community focusing on UDL.

Each module has 2 segments: Learn and Discuss, 

While UDL-PLC modules can be viewed in the order of your choosing, we suggest that you be sure to view following module, which serves as introductions to the series. 

Introduction To Developing A PLC: UDL-PLC Module Series

In this module, you will learn how to use storytelling tools to share real-world examples of UDL.  Sharing UDL stories is one of the best ways to engage peers, and scale UDL across your school or department. You will reflect on UDL practices, tools, strategies, implementation advice shared by your colleagues. Discuss your impressions of these real life examples of UDL in action and share your reflections with your PLC colleagues.
