Universal Design of Curriculum

Universal classrooms use digital media to mold existing and emerging curriculum materials and approaches to teaching, making it more responsive to the needs of diverse learners. Students in this course will develop K-12 curriculum and teaching strategies sensitive to all learners, especially students in regular classrooms with high incidence disabilities such as mild cognitive and fine motor difficulties or ADHD. Students will work in cooperative groups during class time to identify barriers to students’ learning using school-based case studies to address these barriers. Students must complete a final project focused on the strengths and limitations of one new digital technology based on a literature review and an investigation of a school-based implementation.
