EDUC 204 Week 5 Assignment by Haley Foster https://padlet.com/haleyfoster70/lfwe4zey8cl7cpif Universal Design for Learning en-us 2022-02-16 18:38:42 UTC 2022-02-19 19:59:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f970.png What is UDL? haleyfoster70 https://padlet.com/haleyfoster70/lfwe4zey8cl7cpif/wish/2051606575 Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to teaching and learning that gives all students equal opportunity to succeed. The three main components of UDL are: 

  • Engagement
  • Representation
  • Action and Expression

These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.]]> 2022-02-16 18:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyfoster70/lfwe4zey8cl7cpif/wish/2051614714 Guidelines: Provide Multiple Means of Engagement haleyfoster70 https://padlet.com/haleyfoster70/lfwe4zey8cl7cpif/wish/2051629999 The guidelines of UDL have 3 subcategories within the 3 main principles: Access, Build, and Internalize. Under Engagement, which is the WHY of learning, there are three things to keep in mind: 

  • Provide Options for Recruiting Interest 
    • Optimize individual choice and autonomy
    • Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity
    • Minimize threats and distractions
  • Provide Options for Sustaining Effort and Persistence 
    • Heighten salience of goals and objectives 
    • Vary demands and resources to optimize challenge 
    • Foster collaboration and community 
    • Increase mastery-oriented feedback
  • Provide Options for Self Regulation
    • Promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation
    • Facilitate personal coping skills and strategies 
    • Develop self-assessment and reflection

Under Representation, which is the WHAT of learning, there are three things to keep in mind: 

  •  Provide Options for Perception
    • Offer ways of customizing the display of information
    • Offer alternatives for auditory information 
    • Offer alternatives for visual information
  • Provide Options for Language and Symbols 
    • Clarify vocabulary and symbols 
    • Clarify syntax and structure 
    • Support decoding of text, mathematical notation, and symbols 
    • Promote understanding across languages 
    • Illustrate through multiple media 
  • Provide Options for Comprehension
    • Activate or supply background knowledge 
    • Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships 
    • Guide information processing and visualization 
    • Maximize transfer and generalization

Under Action and Expression, which is the HOW of learning, there are three things to keep in mind: 

  • Provide Options for Physical Action
    • Vary the methods for response and navigation
    • Optimize access to tools and assistive technologies 
  • Provide Options for Expression and Communication
    • Use multiple media for communication
    • Use multiple tools for construction and composition
    • Build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance 
  • Provide Options for Executive Functions 
    • Guide appropriate goal-setting
    • Support planning and strategy development 
    • Facilitate managing information and resources 
    • Enhance capacity for monitoring process

Findings from neuroscience indicate that each human brain learns using three primary networks in the brain.

  • Our affective networks influence our emotions and motivations.
  • Our recognition networks influence what we perceive and understand through our senses and
  • Our strategic networks influence how we organise and communicate our thinking.

These networks make unique interconnections influenced by:

  • the context in which learning happens
  • our emotional state
  • our experiences, background knowledge, interests and abilities.

This combination makes learning highly variable.

Some examples of learner variability may include: Boredom/Disengagement, Learning to Speak English, Attention Challenges, or Color, Ethnicity, or Gender making you susceptible to stereotype threat.

  • Accept format choice for assignments (this will give the student a sense of engagement, choice and will hopefully prompt them to be more involved!)
  • Integrate service learning opportunities 
  • Have students come up and write answers on the board 
  • Video conference options for lecturing
