udl4all (online resource)

udl4all is a wiki that I have started recently. I hope it will serve as a resource for anyone with an interest in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). I’m especially keen that it be useful for teachers who are looking for ways of better supporting ALL the learners in their classrooms.

Since I work with technology, the focus of my wiki is on free digital tools that I believe can help ALL learners succeed in today’s classrooms. I focus on free tools because lack of money is a significant barrier that stands in the way of far too many learners who already face other daunting challenges.

In response to my previous post, Ira Socol rightly pointed out that ultimately UDL must be about much more than technology. Still, in today’s world, technology is a critical component in facilitating successful learning for all students. For many, there is virtually no hope of success in school without access to an appropriate range of tech tools that should be readily available to all.

So, please check out the wiki I’m putting together, and let others know about it. I welcome your comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism. I’ve included a link right at the top of the home page to facilitate feedback via email. (I am not using the normal feedback option of the wiki platform because it uses ‘captcha’ that is not accessible to everyone.)
