  1. Universal Design and the Learning Centered Campus Begin Presentation Begin Presentation Go to Accessibility Instructions

  2. Text Description Example – Slide 1

  3. Overview of Presentation: Learning Goals or Outcomes • Understand the concepts of UD and LCE1 and how they are interrelated. • Utilize Dynamic Course Design2 to integrate both concepts. • Be a confident teacher/presenter in reaching all roles of the DARC.

  4. Designing Challenge & Engagement “Learning does not occur simply as a result of access. In all learning activities, the entry point must provide physical, sensory, and cognitive access and be sufficiently supported to ensure success.”

  5. “Ultimately, high levels of learning and performance are only achieved as a result of engagement, sustained over time, in tasks of increasing difficulty and complexity.” - David Edyburn (2007)

  6. 3 UDL Principles (from CAST – Center for Applied Special Technology) Multiple Means of: Representation Expression Engagement

  7. In addressing the “issues” in post-secondary education for students with disabilities,1. Is it the individual?or2. Is it the environment?

  8. “While nondiscriminatory in intent, accommodations are rarely based on pedagogical decisions by faculty concerning the best way to promote student learning.”“Learning environments can be made more accessible and inclusive.”David Edyburn (2007)

  9. UD curriculum strategically supports all students. • UD framework encourages the use of technologies to support best teaching practices.

  10. UD electronic format provides OPTIONS, for example: • Read aloud – computer or screen reader • Printed on a Braille printer • Spoken or written translation • Organizational supports • Include hyperlinks to more in-depth study

  11. New buzzwords in higher education “blended learning” & “hybrid course”

  12. Today’s Learners • Digital • Connected • Experiential • Immediate • Social

  13. B.C. Generation or the Generation Y 70’s to 90’s Millennial Generation 1982 – 2000 Echo Boom Generation 1982-1995 Internet Generation 1994–2001 New Silent Generation 2000 - ?

  14. A Continuum in Hybrid or Blended Learning “Sage on a Stage” “Guide by the side”

  15. Dynamic Course Design 4 STEPS to Integrating UD and learner centered education (LCE)

  16. (1) From LCE (3) (2) From ADA Eliminate barriers through UD Provide accommodations for what you cannot modify (4)

  17. GROUP ACTIVITY

  18. Review of Presentation: Learning Goals Met? • Do you understand the concepts of UD and LCE1 and how they are interrelated? • Are you able to utilize dynamic course design2 to integrate both concepts? • Have we given you any tools to become a confident teacher/presenter in reaching all students, as well as colleagues (role of the DARC)?

  19. What can you do to share what you have learned today with others in your department?

  23. Presenter Options, Including Universal Access Features • The “speaker notes” function in PowerPoint is used as a universal access feature. • The speaker notes contain text descriptions of the graphics, because it was not feasible to do this with PowerPoint’s ALT text function to provide access for people with disabilities, including vision and cognitive impairments. • The notes can also be used to prepare a presenter for delivering the slides. • Where graphics repeat, the descriptions for graphics only describe what has changed from the previous slide. • Unfortunately, current versions of the free PowerPoint Viewer do not support “speaker notes.”

  24. Presenter Options – Viewing Speaker Notes • Using the “Slide Show” view • In Windows, right click on the slide in use or use the context key to bring up the menu, and then select “speaker notes” • On a Mac, using Ctrl + Click on the slide and select “speakers notes” from the menu. • The notes can also be seen as a part of the “Normal” view or directly by using the “Notes Page” view. • When in “Normal” view, F6 can be used to switch between the slide, notes, and outline panes respectively.
