This chapter discusses Universal Course Design (UCD) as a professional development strategy that allows university and college instructors to effectively reach all learners. The goal of UCD is to prepare faculty to increase college students' access to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and the learning environment. The chapter defines UCD and contrasts UCD with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Universal Design of Instruction (UDI). Central to implementing UCD is the UCD team.
