UNIVERSAL DESIGN OF LEARNING

We have watched a video of this and it has been very interesting to us.
The first thing that I have learnt with this is that everybody has a different form of learning and we should meet this diversity (designed).

The point where it is focused is to achieve minimize the barriers and maximize the learning of all students.

I have understood that the principles of this are: Strengths, needs and interest. With these three “bases” the universal learning is achieved.

In the video I have seen that there are three primary brain networks come into play:

-RECOGNITION, MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION: (The “what” of learning)-Present information and content in different ways.

-STRATEGIC, MULTIPLE ACTIONS AND EXPRESSION: (The “how” of learning)-Differentiate the ways students can express what they know.

-AFFECTIVE, MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENT: (The “way” of learning)-Stimulate interest and motivation of learning.
