I went to two sessions in the afternoon – the first mentioned UDL and the other one about using cameras or iPods in classes. The take away message that I got from the sessions boils down to “if you design it for everyone, it helps everyone, if you give students more than one way to express themselves, they will take that chance and fly”.
This isn’t something that I haven’t posted about before, but it’s cool to see these ideas in action. The issues that they identified were usually not in the students, it’s more in the faculty that needs the help to use the device, learn how to assess the outcomes and take the time rework the course. But if they put in the effort to do this, students have produced some amazing results.
