Some Additional Resources about UDL


As with everything on the internet, there are many other resources that I have not discussed or shared on this blog about UDL (Universal Design for Learning).

·       UDL Toolkit (http://udltechtoolkit.wikispaces.com) – This toolkit I discussed in a previous post.  Just the basic layout of the site incorporates the UDL model; it is bright, fun, inviting, using both text and pictures to draw a person in.  There are so many tools and interesting features on this site that it is a must have for every educator implementing universal design for learning into their classroom.

·       CAST (http://www.CAST.org) – Is another resource that I introduced and discussed on this blog about UDL.  There is an entire section on the site about UDL.  The video on my “What is UDL” post was a CAST video introducing the basics of UDL. 
There are many other resources that are great that I have not discussed on the blog yet.  Here are a few that I have come across in my research about Universal Design for Learning:
·       National Center on Universal Design for Learning (http://www.udlcenter.org/) – This site I might have pulled a picture or two but I didn’t really discuss different aspects of the page and how useful it is.  Go check it out!
·       CAST UDL Lesson Builder (http://lessonbuilder.cast.org/) – This is a part of the CAST website but allows educators to build and adjust lessons to incorporate the UDL model.  This is great for educators to explore.

·       Universal Design for Learning video (http://youtu.be/I92QkPdvYRI) – There are many videos available on the internet.  This one is useful because it helps educators (as well as others) realize what UDL is and how much it is being incorporated into the classroom today. 
I hope you are exploring more resources than what I have discussed in regard to Universal Design for Learning through my blog so far and even this post with some extra resources.  If you have any UDL resources you would like to share with me please leave a comment with it!

  1. Sam,
    I agree with you that having the UDL Toolkit is a must! There are so many good resources on there available to educators. They may not be resources you use every day, but certainly can be incorporated frequently throughout a unit.
