Affective networks, in the context of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), represent the "why" of learning, focusing on the emotions, motivation, and engagement of learners. This network influences why learners are motivated to participate in learning activities, develop preferences, and prioritize their interests. Educators can leverage this by designing multiple means of engagement to cater to the diverse ways individuals are motivated, fostering a sense of purpose and engagement.

Strategic Networks, also known as the "how" of learning, focus on the actions and expressions learners use to engage with and express their learning. It encompasses how learners organize their thinking, plan and execute tasks, and communicate their understanding. This principle is about providing multiple means of action and expression to accommodate diverse learning needs and preferences.
