Universal Design for Learning involves using a variety of teaching methods or pedagogical approaches that provide learners with a range of ways to access learning material, engage with it and exhibit the knowledge that they have acquired. This is the fourth and final blog in our series on Universal Design for Learning and concentrates on how the Moodle platform can be used to allow students to demonstrate their learning in multiple ways. That is, to provide them options to show what they have learned!
Learners differ in the ways that they can navigate a learning environment and express their learning. For example,“individuals with significant movement impairments (e.g., cerebral palsy), those who struggle with strategic and organizational abilities (executive function disorders), or those who have language barriers will exhibit their knowledge better in one form over another (e.g., written text versus speech).” (1)
