Engagement is part of the Affective Network<\/strong> and is concerned with the WHY<\/strong> of learning. Research into motivation and affect<\/strong> has shown dramatically that there is diversity in the ways different learners are motivated. Learners hold different experiences, different subject-area knowledge, have different goals<\/strong> for learning and for class participation, different interests, passions, and abilities.<\/strong> Some learners crave and enjoy novelty while others prefer routine. Some students enjoy gathering details and stories and building to a concept; others prefer to learn the theory first and understand how it unfolds in real-life second. Some students prefer to think and work alone; others prefer to work in a group; some even prefer a hybrid.<\/p>\n\n

All of these variables taken together mean that if you are planning on a way to \u201chook\u201d students or hold their interest, you will have to be sure to design for MULTIPLE means of engagement<\/strong> so that everyone gets to jump into the class in ways that not only feel safe, but stimulating and enriching<\/strong>. Offering choices<\/strong> for engagement is a key aspect of UDL. Assessing and getting feedback on engagement as a beginning, middle, and end step are essential aspects of the design process.<\/p>\n\n

Representation is the what<\/strong> of learning. Representation is concerned with the ways<\/strong> that we perceive and comprehend information. Representation is about the symbols, words, shapes, and language structures that we use to convey information. Learners vary in the ways we understand and process language and symbols for a number of reasons that are related to culture, language, disability, and educational experience.<\/p>\n\n

To adequately and accurately transfer information from one setting to the next, students should engage in multimodal learning. If students are reading about CPR they should also watch a video and try it out themselves. Audio and videos should have high quality captions and transcripts available. If students have to learn about implicit bias, they should define the term, observe possible examples, and debate or discuss positive and negative instances of the concept.<\/p>\n\n

To support multiple means of representation, consider offering alternatives for each modality<\/strong> and give students a choice<\/strong> as to which modality they would prefer while encouraging coordinating information across modalities. Explicitly address vocabulary <\/strong>and terminology, providing explicit practice so that terminology can be acquired and used readily and appropriately. UDL principles hold that there should be transparency in the aims<\/strong> of teaching and that holds true when it comes to the ways students learn and communicate.<\/p>\n\n

Action and Expression is the how<\/strong> of learning. It prompts us to understand that students can come to learning very differently and will think about, process, demonstrate, and synthesise<\/strong> learning in different ways. Learners differ in the ways they navigate learning environments, instructions, and assignments.<\/p>\n\n

Learners also vary in their skills in various modes of expression<\/strong> of information and also have specific preferences as to how they express their knowledge. We know that some students love to prepare and write exams and some prefer to write papers.<\/p>\n\n

The UDL framework pushes us to think beyond papers and exams, however and think about demonstrating all or parts of our knowledge using speech, writing, building, demonstrating through slide show, crafting, or assembling<\/strong>. It also supports executive functions: the branch of cognition dedicated to organizing, planning, controlling our attention, and monitoring progress<\/strong>. By giving students a sense of mastery<\/strong> over their navigation and expression of learning, it permits them to develop monitoring, planning, and organizing systems <\/strong>since they have autonomy over the process from start to finish and can develop an internal locus of control over the production and expression of learning.<\/p>\n\n
