ACRL ULS Professional Development Committee: Beyond Universal Design for Learning

Recording of the March 10, 2023, ACRL University Libraries Section Professional Development Committee: Beyond Universal Design for Learning.

As instructional designers, our choices impact learners in a variety of different ways and take on more importance when the instructor and learner are unseen participants in the learning process. One of the key frameworks in use for the creation of learning objects is Universal Design for Learning (UDL). It has provided many librarians a roadmap for creating learning objects by providing guidance on making design choices that recognize the diverse ways in which learners engage with virtual content. While helpful, UDL is just a starting point for inclusive learning. As a profession, we need to move beyond UDL because it falls short of inclusive design practices. Inclusive design, defined by the Inclusive Design Research Center, considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age, and other forms of human difference.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the question of how to support all aspects of equity, diversity, and inclusion within learning object design and development.
