Providing high quality education is a matter of social justice, and ‘Universal Design for Learning’ (UDL) is an innovative framework that supports all learners \u2013 regardless of socioeconomic, cultural, gender, language, cognitive, physical, and emotional background. Accessible content benefits all users. As more learning and assessment takes places online, it is of fundamental importance that we provide digital content that meets the varied needs of all students and staff. The transition to Canvas provides an ideal opportunity to ensure this occurs.<\/p>\n

This event will feature presentations on how to embed Universal Design into Canvas and your teaching practices followed by a panel discussion.<\/p>\n
