Mark Hofer shares how he implements Universal Design for Learning in his teaching, so that all students have the opportunity to learn.

Student, Tony, who helped Mark identify the need for Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

…gives all individuals equal opportunities to learn. – National Center on Universal Design for Learning

If you think about [the UDL] components as you’re designing your course, you’re going to wind up with better learning experiences for all your students. – Mark Hofer

We inadvertently put up barriers for our students in their learning.

Mark’s compare and contrast example

It does take students some time to get used to the idea that there may be more than one way to [accomplish] something. – Mark Hofer

…goal is to try to make the learning as relevant and interesting to the learning, not just initially, but to sustain their interest in the learning… – Mark Hofer

While it is more [work] to select the various kinds of resources, it’s paid back when in class the students are more prepared and we can go into further depth. -Mark Hofer

Don’t try to do [UDL] for every lesson, every day; it’s a recipe for burnout. – Mark Hofer

If you apply good accessibility practices to [course content], it will really benefit multiple learners in the process. – Mark Hofer
