This paper explores the design and initial implementation of online training modules for Universal Design for Learning in the context of academic libraries.

This essay discusses the imperative to serve students with disabilities. It also explores how Universal Design for Learning in the library instruction classroom can facilitate multiple forms of representation, expression, and engagement.

Inclusive Teaching: Ideas and Insights from Linguistically Integrated Classrooms (2017)

The Instructional Design Librarian created multiple modules that engaged users through text, images, audio, and interactive tutorials. The researchers used Universal Design for Learning principles to address multiple learning styles, specifically multiple means of representation, and created a mapping technique for those principles that can be applied to any library tutorial. To assess the effectiveness, students with learning disabilities completed a usability test on the tutorial

This article introduces Universal Design for Learning (UDL), an emerging paradigm to “design course instruction, materials, and content to benefit people of all learning styles without adaption or retrofitting.” The study explores multiple UDL principles that could be applied to library instruction by providing a lesson plan in general and one focusing on teaching Boolean Logic.

This presentation describes the process of redesigning a one-time library workshop using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles.
