Use this template for Multiple means of representation, Multiple means of engagement, Multiple means of expression, and Productive attempts (if the practice aligns with a UDL consideration).

Choose between 1 and 3 considerations from the UDL guidelines.

Don't worry if the nomination could technically fall in more than one category. Pick the one that you think aligns best, and if desired, you can move it later.

In this category, nominate any pledge that didn't go as planned, but which has a lesson to teach us. You may have hired an Auslan interpreter only to find that your student only speaks ASL. You may have tried to make a broad change to university practice, but discovered why we are constrained against making that change.

In line with the COIL values, we honour and celebrate productive attempts! Use the template provided at right.

# data[].attributes.body
In this category, nominate any pledges that fall outside classroom practices - especially those which don't fit neatly into UDL principles.

The pledge does need to make an improvement in access and equity, so if there isn't a UDL consideration, you'll need to find another way to explain how the practice leads to improved equity of outcomes. Use the template provided at right.

# data[].attributes.subject
Pledges that can enter the Expression category

# data[].attributes.body
In this category, nominate pledges that exemplify the UDL principle Multiple means of action and expression, whether it's about allowing students to choose different technological tools; allowing students to choose different modalities to express learning; or scaffolding the skill of reflection with learners.

Outside of teaching, this might include giving staff/students/community different ways to contact your service; or creating keyboard-accessible websites, apps or forms.

Use the template provided at right.

Pledges that can enter the Engagement category

# data[].attributes.subject
Pledges that can enter the Engagement category

# data[].attributes.body
In this category, nominate pledges that are examples of the UDL principle Multiple means of engagement, whether it's providing options in classroom engagement; fostering community in the cohort; or scaffolding self-regulated learning skills.

Outside of teaching, this might look like providing staff or students with different ways to engage in a meeting or event. There are many options - if you provide training, you could even create a game or contest to nurture joy and play.

Use the template provided at right.

Pledges that can enter the Representation category

# data[].attributes.subject
Pledges that can enter the Representation category

# data[].attributes.body
In this category, nominate pledges that embody the UDL principle of Multiple means of representation, whether it's about adding accessible formats, helping students decode new vocabulary, or offering diverse perspectives in curricular materials.

Outside of teaching, that might mean captioning videos; using accessible materials in meetings; or upgrading the accessibility of a student-facing site.

Use the template provided at right.

# data[].attributes.body
Use this template for the Professional Practice category if the nominee's pledge doesn't align to any UDL considerations. This category is designed to include all of the equity practices that fall outside teaching roles, e.g., something new from the Finance team.

You can nominate yourself or others. Nominees don't have to be COIL members, but they must be UoM staff - and if they're doing a pledge, they may well like to join COIL!

To enter:

1. Download the template, delete the placeholder text, and add your nomination. Try to keep within the placeholders without making the text tiny. It doesn't need to be an essay; just the highlights.

2. Wherever possible, use the UDL template and add 1-3 relevant UDL considerations. If no UDL consideration applies, use the Professional Practice template and enter that category.

3. Select the category that fits best, and create a new post.

4. Use the headline as the post subject; upload the slide as the attachment; and include a contact email address. Supporting text is optional if you feel you need it.

5. Return later to upvote favourites! We'll let you know when.
