Free UDL Scanning Tool for Online Learning Materials

Free UDL Scanning Tool for Online Learning Materials

The Center for Online Learning and Students with Disabilities has developed a UDL Scan Tool to support the examination of K-12 online curriculum and learning—beyond traditional examinations for accessibility. Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, the intent of the Tool is to provide a measurement from which to further understand the alignment of K-12 blended and fully online digital materials to the cognitive and learning needs of struggling learners and those with disabilities. Built to include the three UDL principles, nine guidelines, and associated checkpoints, the Tool offers educators, parents, and developers a way to further examine online learning products and a mechanism by which to consider what might be missing in order to best meet the learning needs of ALL individuals.  You can access this free online resource at http://www.centerononlinelearning.res.ku.edu/udl-scan-tool/.
