The UDL Implementation Rubric was authored by Melissa Toland, and you can read more about it here. This is an adapted version of The UDL Progression Rubric by Dr. Katie Novak and Dr. Kristian Rodriguez. In the original version, teachers can self-evaluate their performance on each individual checkpoint of the UDL guidelines, whereas the adapted version is less specific in scope and focuses on performance in more general terms in the following areas: multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression. You can view this rubric to see where you may be in your UDL journey across a spectrum ranging from UDL explorer to UDL idol. Click the link below to download the pdf version of this document.

QuickVoice is ALSO AVAILABLE FOR MAC AND WINDOWS COMPUTERS! And, our iPhone version syncs its recordings with our computer versions. Visit our website for more on this.

This is a recommended update! Fixed a bug some users experienced related to sorting recordings according to time stamp, as well as other misc improvements and optimizations; not the least of which is an option for iCloud backup and sync of recordings across all your Apple devices (except for the Apple Watch, which is now in the works).

Great App I love it

I love this app but it has one single fault NO SORTING FEATURE
This should be a given ability for an app of this type. I make several recordings at a time 10-15 in a give time frame then as I go back to rename them from "My Recording" I regularly find they have been jumbled up with no rhyme to the new order. I currently have over 300 recordings and searching through all of them to find the ones I just made is a big pain.
I would think having even a default sort field in the settings would be easy to do. Dynamic sorting would not have to be there but a static choice in settings would be good something I would pay for

Shame

Reading previous reviews and I can see I'm not the only with this issue and I will be reaching out to apple for a refund for paying for the iCloud feature Idc if it's been over a year, it clearly doesn't work and there's no one to get in contact with. Last app update 7 months ago.

I've had the QuickVoice app on my iphone for years. I have the iCloud feature turned on in Settings in the app. In my iCloud settings the QuickVoice app is turned on to backup the info on the app and I had to pay for this feature to be able to back up all my years worth of recordings. Now on my new iPhone after restoring from a backup 4 different times and transferring data from my old iPhone, the app is not showing any of my previous recordings and it doesn't show they are loading. I even recorded a test record and it did show. I'm currently using an iPhone 12 Pro Max. My old iPhone is an iPhone XS Max and before that it was an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPhone 4. That's how long I've been using this app

Company not in business???

I'm posting this hoping the developer sees this. I tried to contact through the website, and it goes to a page saying the website is for sale when you submit the form. (Although oddly it's a different website address with a dash).

Previous rating was 5 stars. I've used this since probably since 2012. Easy for a quick recording and does well recording voice, choir, and pipe organ performances. Can choose high quality setting and email to self easily.

PROBLEM: suddenly in the last couple months, it deleted all of my recordings going back 8 YEARS!!! OMG. ALL GONE. 😭
- and it seems the software is deleting my files every single night.
- this is why I tried to contact the developer to see if there's a setting I need to change which I couldn't find in my iPhone/QuickVoice settings.

Sadly, I think I'm going to have to find a new recorder. But honestly it might be for the best since there was no sorting feature in this and it would organize it haphazardly not even in chronological order. Bummed.

Ps. I have iPhone 10 with updated software. And it worked great on my iPhone 6.

As we begin the school year refreshed from summer break, we enter our (hopefully!) clean classrooms and see a room full of potential. With another year comes new opportunities for improvement and growth. It is through this lens that we take a look at Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to learn more about this pedagogical framework and how we can make our classrooms more inclusive and accessible.

What is UDL?

UDL is an approach to designing curriculum and instruction that prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity. At the heart of UDL is a belief that a classroom designed for students at the margins is better for all students. As opposed to what we typically see with differentiated instruction-with curriculum being retro-fitted to accommodate learners as their needs arise-UDL takes all learners' needs and abilities into consideration from the beginning.

A helpful metaphor often employed to explain UDL utilizes the example of a ramp in a street's curb. Originally designed for users in wheelchairs and walkers, the ramp actually helps many users, if unintentionally: small children, those with arthritis, and parents with strollers. The curb was designed from the outset for a user typically designated as "in the margins," and in so doing, helps many more people.

As you can see from the image below, UDL prioritizes and celebrates learners' different modes of Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression.

What does UDL look like in the classroom?

The Universally Designed classroom provides multiple ways for students to interact with learning material (Representation), multiple ways to express themselves (Action and Expression), and multiple ways to engage with the classroom (Engagement).

This classroom emphasizes choices, options, and the opportunity for learners to self-identify their own pathway for success in learning. This might mean that if a teacher prefers to stand and deliver auditory instructions, they are also written on the board; this assists learners who are hard of hearing , those who may prefer to process visual instructions over auditory instructions, and even students who learn best when they're able to copy the material and return to their notes after school . This may also mean that we offer multiple modes of assessments: if the final project is a classroom presentation, we might offer an alternative where a student could film themselves at home and show the video in class. This could be an option for those students with high levels of anxiety, as well as students who struggle with verbal speaking skills.

What does this look like in practice? You can check out the UDL guidelines HERE!

As students feel accommodated and understood in their individual needs, they become better at self-prescribing routes to success, and will likely feel more confident widening their comfort zones later in the year. It's important that we remember that many students struggle to define their most successful avenues of consuming knowledge, and expressing it. At teachers, it is our job to help them know themselves.

Universal Design for Learning...

...is a way of teaching that views all learners as unique, and believes that providing accessibility for one learner's needs actually opens the door for many others.

...creates multiple points of access in material/classroom for your students to learn and demonstrate their learning.

...calls to attention barriers in curriculum that may limit accessibility to all learners and encourages mindfulness in teachers and curriculum designers.

...is a mindset, not a one-off. It's not possible to "make one of your units UDL." UDL is a philosophy through which you approach curriculum and instruction-it's been around for years, and it's working!

...prepares kids for the world now , not a world that used to exist. Many successful thought-leaders did not succeed in the traditional classroom (which prizes conformity to instruction) and flourished when they followed their own strengths, no matter how non-conformist.

...is best practice in a lot of classrooms without being called that name! If you reflect on many classrooms that you've been impressed with, you'll likely notice that the teacher was employing many tenets of the UDL philosophy.

....prompts learners to learn how they best learn .

Five Tips for the UDL Classroom

1. Involve Students in the "meta" of your teaching. Bring them into your process of trying to empower them in their own journey of learning. Knowing your "plan" will hook them, and in the long term, they may become your biggest partners.

Make the assessment's presence a physical one, whether it's a bulletin board with students' photos and learning styles or a wheel of styles with students' names. Encourage students to add Post-Its to their name as they discover more about the ways they learn ("Hand-writing information makes me remember it;" "I prefer to talk things out rather than writing things down"). Having a visual representation showcases that all students learn differently and prompts students to self-identify accommodations they might need.If adjusting your classroom to suit all learners feels overwhelming, gradually introduce options. First, offer two ways for engaging with a lesson-either through traditional note-taking or sketchnoting. Then, introduce two acceptable assessments options for an upcoming unit. Display these "menu items" in the classroom. Throughout the year, add more. It might break up the monotony of grading the same assessments, and students can grow alongside you with expanded choices.Entertainment is passive, with students sitting back and absorbing aspects of the classroom. It typically features much of the teacher and little of the students. Engagement, however, is very active, with students adding their prior knowledge, asking questions, and seeking answers; they are the center of the classroom. If you are involving students in the meta of your teaching (#1), and they know that you're seeking to make them a better learner, students are more likely to understand that they are partners in their learning. 2. Do a learning style assessment and make it a visual part of your classroom.

3. Create a "menu" of options...slowly.

4. Engagement is not entertainment.

5. You don't have to anticipate every barrier today. Universally Designed Learning values a flexible, agile classroom and curriculum that can adjust to the needs of the learners that arise. Yes, attempt to accommodate everything you can think of now-adjust the layout of your room with an area for students who need a place to get out of their seat, encourage dramatizations of class concepts for kinetic learners (the kids most often perceived as "behavior problems" when, in fact, they need a hands-on mode of engagement) -but also understand that UDL is growth-minded. Celebrate your pursuit, not your perfection.
