I have not taught before and am gearing up to do so in Spring, and really hoped that there would be more ability to focus on how to structure courses from the ground up with UDL in mind rather than just applying lessons to prior experience. ]]> 2023-02-09 14:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2475137838 Core Session2 - 2/9 https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2476471072 Would have loved more time with the document of resources prior to the meeting - the time given to explore and discuss those in the meeting was hardly enough time to scroll through, open links, read, etc. ]]> 2023-02-10 14:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2476471072 Empathy Mapping https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2476836118 Still a bit confused about this practice and the exercise that was given - the example was very specific to an individual, but it seems that we are to apply this technique from more generalities/common knowledge/grapevine rumblings? Feels like there is a disconnect between the ideal version of an empathy map and what we can do with the limited resources we have. Would love more clarity on how folks have actively utilized this technique.]]> 2023-02-10 19:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2476836118 I really liked how pinch points were broken down into three categories which then can lead to possible solutions https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2479831552 2023-02-13 16:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2479831552 How do we keep a high academic rigor and ensure our students are learning in a post-pandemic environment https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2479852627 2023-02-13 16:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2479852627 Based on my experience, I think it would be helpful to have some clear qualifiers for the recommended sessions i.e. this session is intended for people that...it seems like a lot of people who haven't taught yet & are preparing to teach for the first time struggle with the content https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2486632554 2023-02-17 18:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2486632554 Overall, I think it would be great to have sessions dedicated to people who haven't taught before and are getting ready to teach/design their first class. https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2486633584 2023-02-17 18:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2486633584 I think it might be helpful to have an intro session (after being introduced to the main UDL principles) that helps us identify UDL-related things we're already doing. This would help me understand where to target these UDL interventions. https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2488687323 2023-02-20 16:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2488687323 How do we balance these UDL principles (that I think are great!) with preparing students to enter the 'real world' where many employers & continuing education programs etc. might not follow these principles? https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2488689658 2023-02-20 16:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2488689658 Different time in the quarter for practicum to take place? https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2494294055 I found the practicum difficult to engage in due to when in the quarter it was scheduled (weeks 6-8). Midterms and registration just made it difficult to juggle, whereas I think moving it to weeks 2-4 or 3-5 might have allowed for better engagement.]]> 2023-02-24 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/SearleCenter/udlp_parkinglot_2023winter/wish/2494294055
