Lesson 5 – Summary
Monday…Someday
It can feel overwhelming to think of changing everything all at once. One of the best ways to approach the use of UDL in your courses is to start small.
Remember our “Monday….Someday” list: Think about just one thing you can do to reduce or remove barriers in one course. Could you add assignment checklists to support executive functioning? Could you add options for collaboration and community building in class? Could students select how they demonstrate their learning for one assignment? Revisit the reflection prompts and focus on some that resonated with you.
As you continue to add strategies, tools, and resources to your list, consider which ones might be worth sharing with your colleagues. Which ones could you talk about at your next team meeting? Do any of these ideas spark even bigger ideas for your program?
If you are feeling stuck, try experimenting with LUDIA, an AI chatbot designed to assist you with UDL implementation in your classroom. Enter a prompt, and LUDIA will share realistic suggestions to start using UDL as your teaching framework.

Review of UDL Modules
Below is a drag-and-drop activity. There are three columns – one for each of the UDL Principles: Multiple Means of Engagement, Multiple Means of Representation, and Multiple Means of Action and Expression. Below the columns are the nine UDL Guidelines. Drag and drop each guideline to the corresponding UDL principle. This is a self-correcting activity. When you are done, select “Check” to review your choices. Correct answers will turn green, with a check mark indicator. You can retry as many times as you’d like.
