Hi, I'm Brendan Prieto.

And this is the Module 66 Learning object in which

I'm gonna talk a little bit about universal design for

learning or you D l So you d l is

actually based upon the principle of least restrictive environment.

And that is stipulated by the ID e a.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act on dhe that stipulates

that students with disabilities are to be educated alongside their

peers who are without disabilities on this is made possible

by u D o.

So what is you d l Let's dig a little

deeper on that.

Okay, you deal, as we discussed, stands for universal design

for learning.

And it's based on the principle of designing to the

edges as ah, I learned in this module in that

that during that wonderful Ted talk that if you designed

for the middle, you're going to please no one and

you're going to reach no one.

So what you have to do is design for the

edges. So the goal of you, d l is that

all students become expert learners and as uneducated you designed

so that learning happens in different ways and knowledge is

expressed by different means.

So, like the cockpit example, everything is adjustable.

Flexible. Okay, So what are the principles of you?

D l number one representation number two, Expression number three.

Engagement. So let's check out each one in turn, Dig

a little deeper.

So you present the information through multiple means of representation.

Okay, so ensure that key information is perceptible toe.

All learners provide the same information and multiple modalities seeing,

hearing touch.

Um, no.

One way could represent information so that everyone can learn

it. So you have to ensure that everyone could make

sense of the symbols and language and drawings that you're

presenting. So, for example, what this president presentation is doing

is an example of you d l So I'm presenting

text in on one hand, but I'm also verbalizing it

on the other.

So this is has more of a chance to reach

a broader range of students.

So that's that.

Let's move on.

Okay. Expression.

So this speaks thio how Children or students express their

learning so students vary and how they can express what

they know.

They can do it verbally in written language and also

in drawings than third principles engagement.

So provide multiple means of engagement.

So this basically speaks.

This principle speaks to the fact that you have to

make the lessons that you're presenting as meaningful and as

relevant as possible.

So you have to really drive home the fact to

your students that what they're learning is actually beneficial and

important and useful.

And you have to reinforce that message with meaningful activities

for them to practice.

Excuse me.

Still getting used to this president from this Prezi presentation?

So let me roll this all the way back.

There we go.

Okay. So what are the components of universal design for

learning? So there's four main components.

You have to define your goals.

You have to know your materials.

Ask yourself what are your methods as a teacher?

What are you going to do that's going to help

the students learn?

Okay. So again, you have to be, um, multidimensional chess

here can't be just any one way.

So you have to present the information through multiple means

digitally, verbally through physical activities.

Games? Are you gonna use, uh, turn and talk you

d l cards.

So you have to know all the tools in your

arsenal and How are you going to incorporate that into

your practice?

And then finally, what are your means of assessment?

How you gonna ensure that the students are learning?

So what are those assessments?

So that's just a brief overview of you D l

and what I learned in this, um, module.

I see that I've gone over my allotted time on

I appreciate your indulgence and thank you for sticking around.
