- explore the framework of Universal Design in providing students with multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression, and what that looks like for them;
- the reasoning for the adoption and evolution of the term Inclusive Design / Inclusive Learning to address previous issues in Universal Design in Learning;
- how educators can make the shift to teaching and developing their courses with Universal Design and Inclusive Learning in mind.
