AEDT 516 - Instructional Design: UDL & Technology

3 credit hours

This course identifies why and how teachers should use technologies in their teaching. By exploring the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and a framework of equity and technology, the course looks at tools that will help instructors use the potential of technology to support learning. Students will explore many technological tools and, more importantly, will learn a framework for assessing and applying these tools. The course will help students understand why UDL and an understanding of technology equity provide this framework, and the course also provides students with the skills to apply the framework in their teaching strategies and the ways they design curricula.
