Welcome to Episode 132 of the Think UDL podcast: Design Cycle and Research with Kavita Rao. Dr. Kavita Rao is a Professor in the College of Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the current director of the Research Institute there in the College of Education. In today’s conversation we discuss her published article on the UDL design cycle and then move into the current state of UDL research in Higher Education. We start this discussion with an understanding of the UDL design cycle and why it was codified. Then we move into taking stock of the state of UDL research in higher education, what we have, and what we need as we move forward as well as what to do if you want to start your research in UDL in higher education! I hope you will be inspired to add to our research base in UDL in higher ed, and thank you for listening to the Think UDL podcast.
