Inclusive Learning by Design: UDL in Higher Education 

Following the success of our immensely popular UDL Night School session, ‘UDL for Beginners,’ many colleagues asked for a course that would build further on the topics covered. In response, we’re proud to launch our newest offering: Inclusive Learning by Design: UDL in Higher Education

​

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is widely recognised across education, but many staff leave introductory sessions still unsure how to put it into practice. This course addresses that gap by combining conceptual clarity with practical tools and methods so that you can confidently design learning, teaching, and assessment that genuinely responds to learner variability, without adding unnecessary complexity to your workload.

 

 Think of this course as a ‘beginners plus’ offering – ideal if you’re new to UDL, but equally valuable if you already have some experience and want to deepen your understanding and practical implementation skills.
