Join us for an engaging workshop where we delve into two essential frameworks for creating effective and inclusive courses: Backward Design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Participants will explore strategies for developing and prioritizing intended learning outcomes in course design and align these outcomes to assessments, instructional strategies, and student interactions. We will also explore ways to integrate core principles of UDL—multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement—to design effective learning for students. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped to apply inclusive strategies to their course planning and enhance student learning experiences.
