UDL Curriculum Toolkit Demo Guidelines
The UDL Curriculum Toolkit contains numerous features to support students in the learning process and to enhance all students’ learning experiences. These features include providing a) multiple ways for content to be represented, b) various multi-media options through which students can express what they learn, and c) a dynamic environment designed to accommodate diverse learning engagement proclivities. The Demo allows for a teacher to check some of the major components of a UDL curriculum, but also on a lesson level. This can function as a checklist for lesson planning.
