Overview:

This two-day interactive workshop ensures a blend of theoretical insights and cutting-edge AI applications for inclusive learning design. Participants will leave equipped to create adaptive, inclusive environments that foster agency and collaborative learning for all students.
Participants will explore the goal of UDL and learn to leverage its framework to create conditions for learner agency.

• • Explore learner variability and the components of UDL learning prep

• • Design universally engaging and accessible instructional routines

• • Reimagine assessments to enhance flexibility in student engagement and expression.
