The host of Trending Education, Mike Palmer, facilitates a discussion between Dr. Eric Moore and Dr. Dawn DiPeri. Dr. Eric Moore, an internationally recognized Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Accessibility consultant, specializes in the theory and practice of UDL, especially in the context of higher education. Dr. Dawn DiPeri is a Learning Designer at Harvard University. In this podcast, the three of them discuss UDL and its impact on Instructional Design. Together they explore the deep connections between UDL, access, the Digital Divide, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the podcast, Exploring Universal Design for Learning with Dr. Eric Moore.

Research has clearly documented that learning from text is the primary instructional model found in most classrooms. The purpose of this resource is to describe a universal design engineering approach known as Design for More Types and how these methods can be applied to the design of text-based learning materials and advance efforts to measure the outcomes associated with various instructional designs.
