SUMMARY:Online Course: Universal Design in Teaching and Learning (Autumn 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Implementation of universal design principles in Teaching & Learning promotes inclusivity and equity while also ‘futureproofing’ your teaching. \nAs our classrooms and lecture theatres become increasingly diverse\, our practices must also adapt to reflect the changing landscape of higher education. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences\,  including cognitive neuroscience\, which guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences and cater for the wide range of diversity in our lecture rooms. This CPD course will give you an introduction to the concept of Universal Design for Learning and invite you to review and update your own Teaching and Learning practice. \nThis Badge is sibling to the Digital Badge for Universal Design Beyond the Classroom. Not sure which Badge is for you? Complete this quick quiz to help your decision.” \nCourse Schedule\n  \n\n\n\nDigital Badge Dates Autumn 2024\n\n\n\nWeek\nDate\nTime\nTopic\nFacilitator\n\n\nWeek 1\n07/10/24\n13:00\nOrientation\nAHEAD & UCD\n\n\n\nWeek beg 07/10/24\nN/A\nModule 1 eLearning\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 2\nWeek beg 14/10/24\nN/A\nModule 2 eLearning\nN/A\n\n\n\nWeek beg 14/10/24\nTBC\n1st Peer Group Meeting\nPeer Group Facilitator\n\n\nWeek 3\n24/10/24\n13:00\nIntroducing the Redesign Activity\nAHEAD & UCD\n\n\n\nWeek beg 24/10/24\nN/A\nModule 3 eLearning\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 4\nWeek beg 28/10/24\nN/A\nModule 4 eLearning\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 5\nWeek beg 04/11/24\nN/A\nModule 5 eLearning\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 6\nWeek beg 11/11/24\nN/A\nRedesign Activity Work Ongoing\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 7\nWeek beg 18/11/24\nN/A\nRedesign Activity Work Ongoing\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 8\nWeek beg 25/11/24\nN/A\nRedesign Activity Work Ongoing\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 9\nWeek beg 02/12/24\nN/A\nRedesign Activity Work Ongoing\nN/A\n\n\nWeek 10\n09/12/24\n13:00\nRedesign Submission Questions and Facilitator Badge Information\nAHEAD & UCD\n\n\nSubmission Date\n15/12/24\n23:59\nSubmission of Redesign activity and Peer Verification Form\nN/A\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nReflect on the Diversity of Students in your Institution;\nGain a good understanding of the Universal Design for Learning framework and how it can support diverse learners;\nDeepen your understanding of UDL through peer engagement;\nRedesign some elements of your teaching and learning practice based on your knowledge of UDL principles;\nConsider how you will change your practice more broadly in line with a UDL approach.\n\nLearning Activities\n\n\n\nActivity\nPer week\nTen Weeks\n\n\nLive Webinar\n60 min\n3 hours\n\n\nPeer Group meeting\n30-60 min\n1.5-3 hours\n\n\nIndependent learning\nN/A\n7 hours\n\n\nRedesign Activity\nN/A\n12 hours\n\n\nTotal\nN/A\n25 hours\n\n\n\n Content\n\n\n\nIndicative content\nFacilitator/Guest speaker\n\n\nIntroduction to UDL \nMultiple Means of Engagement \nMultiple Means of Representation \nMultiple Means of Action & Expression \nReflecting on Your Practice\nAHEAD & UCD\n\n\nFacilitator’s Badge\nDr Lisa Padden\, UCD \nPurpose: Develop capacity for delivery of Digital Badge by institution staff for institution staff\n\n\n\n  \n\nRegistration\nFor more information\, please contact UDBeyond@ahead.ie\, or our eLearning and Digital Media Officer Danielle O’Rourke – danielle.orourke@ahead.ie \nClick here to register
