OBJECTIVE OF THE MOBILITY
EXPERIENCE *
|
|
Do you aspire to
provide your students with inclusive educational environments that
fully accommodate their diversity – broadly conceived? In this course, you
will learn to design this sort of environment following the principles of
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) with the support of effective digital
tools created exactly for this aim.
Universal design for learning (UDL) provides teachers with
practical strategies and techniques to ensure equal opportunities for
learning to all students, regardless of their needs and abilities.
By employing UDL guidelines, teachers minimize the learning barriers already
when planning their lessons in order to put students in the best
condition to achieve the established learning goals.
In the course, you will become familiar with a variety of strategies to
implement the principles of UDL by providing multiple means of engagement,
representation, and action, and expression.
Moreover, while technology is not a prerequisite for implementing UDL, the
effective use of digital tools helps remove instructional barriers to
learning, and transform it into a more personalized and engaging
activity.
Accordingly, in the course, you will be introduced to a list of educational
digital tools that support the implementation of the UDL guidelines, are
largely available now, and are extremely useful in removing barriers and
promoting students’ ownership of learning.
The proposed digital tools promote flexibility and provide options for
differentiating students’ interaction and learning strategies.
They also allow teachers and students to customize their learning environment
to increase each student’s individual strengths, satisfy specific
needs, and sharpen personal curiosity and interests.
The course will provide you with plenty of time to explore how to use these
tools and deepen their secrets step-by-step. You will also have many
occasions to practice and discuss the effective use of the tools with your
fellows.
By the end of the course, you will obtain a useful digital toolbox that helps
you to implement UDL guidelines in your teaching and learning. Thus, you will
be able to create an inclusive learning environment that
addresses the diverse needs of all students.
