Meeting Information
Join the Academic Libraries Interest Group to discuss Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The UDL educational framework guides the development of flexible, accommodating learning environments that also has applications that extend far beyond the classroom. UDL experts, Suzanne Ehrlich and Michelle Bartlett, will be joining us to speak about their experience with the topic. Come prepared with questions and talking points because our guests are setting aside plenty of time to chat with us about the research and application of UDL in academia.
