Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Introduction to Multiple Means of Action and Expression

Are your students not performing well on your assessments? It might not be their fault. Students have a variety of strengths that they often aren’t encouraged to play to. UDL suggests that allowing students options for how they can act and express on their knowledge may be the best way for students to produce quality work.

Want to learn more about providing multiple means of action and expression? Take a moment to learn more about UDL with the Learning Technologies Team’s Justin Littlefield in this short video.

Should you want to learn more, schedule a one-on-one consultation.

As exams approach, you and your students may need additional support for using Respondus. For additional support, explore the Respondus support page.

You can ”Submit a Ticket” at the bottom of the page. Be sure to save this page for yourself and share it with your students if you are planning on using Respondus for your upcoming exams!
