Cooney, Lori

The UDL guideline on providing multiple means of representation focuses on giving learners content in a variety of formats to help them build important disciplinary knowledge and develop ways of thinking about course content. In this webinar, Lori Cooney, UDL & Technology Specialist at Think College, focused on representation and how instructors can present course materials in various ways for students to access and engage with the information.

Created for a Universal Design for Learning Affinity Group meeting, Lori Cooney invited attendees to share their favorite technologies for use in inclusive higher education, and "Tech-a-licious" is what they created. This Google Slides deck includes 8 recommendations for various types of technology that make teaching easier, more accessible, and engaging for students. 

This webpage was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in an effort to support educators in the move to online teaching and distance learning. Maria Paiewonsky and Lori Cooney produced this resource based on supported education model and universal design for learning (UDL). There are examples for how to support students and numerous technology resources, as well.  

This webinar describes universal design for learning (UDL) and technology principles to support diverse learners through multiple means of engagement, expression, and representation. Numerous UDL strategies and technology tools (i.e., web 2.0 tools, apps, mobile devices), as well as traditional approaches to technology to diversify instruction and assessment in order to meet the needs of all learners are discussed.
