Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offers a proactive, equity-centered framework for designing learning environments that account for learner variability through multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. In this webinar, Dr. Molly McKeon explores findings from a multi-phased case study examining institutional readiness for widespread UDL implementation in higher education. Participants will examine how organizational culture, faculty beliefs, instructional practices, and systems-level factors influence UDL adoption and consider strategies for advancing equitable, transformative teaching and learning across academic and student affairs.
