Accessibility Matters:

Universal Design and the Professional Practice Doctorate

 

Date: Friday, April 29, 2022

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework built around the idea of proactively identifying and removing barriers to learning in the environment, pedagogical practices, and instructional materials. In this webinar titled “Accessibility Matters: Universal Design and the Professional Practice Doctorate,” we will lead a discussion about accessibility by focusing on the application of UDL in Ed.D. programs with a particular focus on online programs. We will provide a brief overview of UDL and its application to the design, implementation, and evaluation processes of the professional practice doctorate.
