  • UDL Guidelines from CAST.org
  • Providing multiples means of engagement pillar (the WHY of learning):
    • Recruiting Interest
      • Providing options, different modalities
      • information that you have, that your learners are not, engaged with or interested in is actually information that's inaccessible to them
    • Sustaining effort and persistence
    • Self-regulation

Recruiting Interest:

  • Optimize individual choice and autonomy
    • Curriculum is not a choice but we can build in opportunities for choice elsewhere
    • Skills-based courses can provide more choice in terms of student interests
    • Choice in how information is obtained
    • Doesn't need to be a lot of choices
    • Involve students in success criteria, themes, resources in projects
    • Involve learners in setting their own goals
    • Point-less by Sarah Zerwin book
  • Optimize relevance, value and authenticity
    • CRRP
    • Resources that are socially relevant, age and ability appropriate, first languages
    • Instructional videos on YouTube for auto-translated captioning
    • Google Translate is useful too
    • Active participation and participation - hands-on activities, whiteboards
    • Authentic tasks
  • Minimize threats and distractions
    • Creating a safe learning space for students
    • Maslow's hierarchy
    • Language as a threat - shutdown, fear can happen
    • Too much sensory stimulation can be a threat/distraction - minimize the fluff, use the same templates, routine is great for student learning
    • Self-pacing with Modern Classrooms
    • Whole class discussions - think about your extraverts and introverts, use backchannel tools (padlet, google chat), video presentations
