Workshop
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Staff are invited to a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) workshop – 'Starting your journey as a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Explorer' – on the following dates:
- Thursday 26 September, 10.00am – 1.00pm
- Monday 7 October, 10.00am – 1.00pm
- Monday 4 November, 10.00am – 1.00pm
This professional development workshop will promote and implement an inclusive teaching and learning environment using the principles of UDL for academic and non-academic staff and learners in Higher Education Institutions.
It is well documented that the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) have enormous potential to positively impact on the learning experience of all students, not exclusively those with disabilities or diverse learning needs. UDL creates inclusive pedagogy by encouraging a curriculum design tailored to address the needs of all students and provide all learners with multiple pathways to success. At its core, UDL encompasses three principles – which instructors should provide students with multiple means of engagement, representation, action and expression. UDL acknowledges the diversity in experience, culture and personality among learners and provides staff in HEIs with the tools to enable learners to become expert learners who are:
- purposeful and motivated
- resourceful and knowledgeable
- strategic and goal-directed
The workshop aims to:
- discuss key issues around inclusivity and UDL in Higher Education Institutions
- identify and recognise the principles and best practice approaches of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
- apply the principles of UDL to promote and implement an inclusive teaching and learning environment across a range of settings
- recognise the need for UDL and how its principles address accessibility
- establish a Community of Practice (CoP) to promote a UDL culture

The Centre for Educational Development have launched a new Learning and Teaching (L&T) Hub here.
The aim is to compile a bank of case studies to recognise, celebrate and showcase the great work that Queen's staff do on a continual basis to develop their own practice and to enhance the learner experience.

If submitting a case study, areas of focus can be Student Partnership, Active Teaching Methods, Accessibility, Inclusive Practice, Universal Design for Learning, Internationalising the Curriculum, Self-Assessment, Peer Review and Reflective Practice.

Resources
Read&Write and EquatIO software
Queen's has invested in new software to help students and staff work and study smarter, saving time and stress when creating resources and embarking on research.
Read&Write is networked on every computer on campus and can be used to improve research, proofreading and referencing. This smart toolbar sits across any project you are working on to help you improve productivity. See here for the range of features included.
EquatIO is also networked across campus, but is specifically aimed at those studying STEM courses and anyone who is required to submit equations/formulas digitally. EquatIO takes the stress out of complicated coding and keyboard shortcuts by allowing you to use prediction, LaTex, speech input and handwriting recognition to easily insert and solve any equation/formula required to be submitted digitally. All these can then be proofread with Read&Write. See here for the range of features included.
All students can access both Read&Write and EquatIO software on University devices, but not on personal devices, unless provided by the Disability Office. Staff are recommended to promote the software to students and in particular international students, students registered with the Disability Office, under-represented groups or any student who feels it will benefit their engagement with learning.
Staff can get access to Read&Write and EquatIO on any platform by following the 'free for teachers' method at this link. Follow the instructions to complete the registration. Please ensure you use your Queen's email twice in the form and your own name (for admin). Please do not use a personal email. If there are any issues with downloading the software, your School Computer Officer provides first level on-the-spot help. For Schools without a Computer Officer, please contact the IT Service Desk.
