UDL Guidelines

This webpage from CAST, Inc. provides information on guidance for implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is defined as "a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn." These guidelines can be used in any discipline by "educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, and anyone else who wants to implement the UDL framework in a learning environment."

The guidelines are presented as links to additional information under the following main principles: Provide Multiple Means of Engagement (Effective Networks: the WHY of learning), Provide Multiple Means of Representation (Recognition Networks: the WHAT of learning), and Provide Multiple Means of Action & Expression (Strategic Networks: the HOW of learning). These principles are subdivided by the following topics: access, build, and internalize. The final row of the table states the goal for the learner under each principle. 

Also included on the webpage are a short video on the structure of the guidelines version 2.0 and links to additional information.
