Recent years have seen a
greater focus on equity and diversity in higher and health professions'
education. As part of this conversation, Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
has emerged as a promising and practical approach to teaching and learning
which helps to provide students with equal opportunities to succeed.
UDL principles can be used to
create learning environments that suit a wide variety of learners, offering flexibility
in the ways in which students can access and engage with resources. In this
month's Fast Facts, we provide an overview of UDL, explore the organisation of
the UDL framework, and consider how we might apply UDL to curriculum planning.
