CTG10 – Collection of Free Digital Resources to Support UDL

I’ve just linked my blog to a wiki that I created last fall, so I thought I’d describe the wiki here.  I’ve put a great deal of effort into it, so the more widely the wiki is used, the happier I’ll be!  I first shared this resource in a pre-conference session at  Closing the Gap in Minneapolis last October.

The wiki has been organized around the 3 fundamental principles of Univeral Design for Learning–Multiple Means of Representation;  Multiple Means of Action and Expression; Multiple Means of Engagement.

The rapidly growing number of quality digital resources available online is huge!!!  I’ve organized and presented some of these in as user friendly a manner as I could manage.  Straight lists of links don’t work well for me, so I’ve included logo images and point-form descriptions.

CLiCk,Speak works well to provide text-to-speech in the tables on the wiki, as long as you are using Firefox 3.6 or earlier.  I believe that means FireVox should work for those who need a screen reader.

The resources linked on the wiki include both online applications and programs that can be downloaded and installed for offline use.  At the bottom of the FrontPage of the wiki is a ‘Table of Contents’ with links to each of the other wiki pages.

This is how the resource collections are organized.
