The Alert Collector: Universal Design for Learning

Abstract

Whether it is an Instruction Services Librarian revising her one-shot lesson plan or a programming librarian designing computer classes for public library clientele, universal design for learning offers a great way to create an inclusive learning environment. Arising out of the field of architecture, UDL offers a variety of teaching methods to eliminate barriers to learning and give all users, students, and patrons the chance to gain new skills. To that end, Catherine Baldwin has selected a range of books, journals and websites that should go in your library’s professional development collection, and/or for the circulating collection of your institution.—Editor
