     <h3>The student perspective on UDL<\/h3>                <p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u2018While I don't think that it was implemented equally across different modules\/degree programmes, I feel that many of my lecturers made an effort to implement the Universal Design for Learning principles in their teaching. For the most part, curricula and its delivery were flexible and adaptable to the specific needs of the students in the room. Also, while some lecturers did so more than others, there was guidance around assessment criteria, which included some overview of key terminology that is used in relation to assessments\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff University student, 2025<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div> \n\n    \n<h2>Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy<\/h2>\n<p>The students in our classrooms arrive with a diverse set of learning needs and a range of cultural experiences and identities. Learning must be looked at within the context and the culture in which they occur. Culture has been defined in many ways, for example, \u2018shared patterns of behaviours and interactions, cognitive constructs, and affective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization. These shared patterns identify the members of a culture group while also distinguishing those of another group\u2019 (Hanesworth et al. 2019: 1)<\/p>\n<p>Multiple levels of awareness are necessary for teachers to be culturally responsive. This includes knowledge of personal biases, students\u2019 backgrounds\/strengths, how the learning environment should build from students\u2019 strengths; and how to bring about change in education systems.<\/p>\n<p>Instructional planning using UDL is further enhanced when acknowledging how race, cultural, and linguistic differences could affect students\u2019 learning (Kieran and Anderson 2019). The new Universal Design for Learning guidelines (2024), version 3.0, incorporate culturally sustaining pedagogies.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about these concepts on the <a

     <h3>The student perspective<\/h3>                <p>5 Top Tips:<\/p>\n<p>1. State Learning Objectives at the beginning of the lecture or seminar so students know what the lecture or session is about.<\/p>\n<p>2. Give a summary of the seminar reading or questions you want the students to consider. It makes it explicit as to what we are expected to do and helps us focus on what is needed.<\/p>\n<p>3. Be open and flexible in your teaching approach. No matter how much preparation you do in advance of teaching a session, you never know what the specific needs of the students will be in that particular session. Try to build a picture\/profile of the students as you encounter them more frequently, but don\u2019t go into a session believing that there is only one right way to lead that session. Anticipate that change may be necessary and facilitate that change where necessary.<\/p>\n<p>4. Practices such as providing lecture slides at least 48 hours in advance can make a significant difference, especially for international students and those with additional learning needs.<\/p>\n<p>5. Aligning assessment methods with learning outcomes and teaching activities. This kind of clarity is essential when assessment criteria are well explained and clearly linked to what we\u2019re actually learning, it feels much fairer and easier to focus on what\u2019s expected.<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff University Students, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div> \n\n    \n<h2>How can YOU use Inclusive Design and Universal Design for learning?<\/h2>\n<h3>Session Design: Reflect on the student experience of learning and teaching<\/h3>\n<p>Go to the detailed UDL guidelines by reading them\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/udlguidelines.cast.org\/\">on the CAST website<\/a>\u00a0and identify aspects of your teaching or organisation of teaching that you would re-design to ensure you are employing universal design for learning, for each of the three areas of engagement, representation, and action and expression.

Identify barriers to learning: Task Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>In order to remove barriers and inequalities in education, we firstly need to identify the barriers to learning we create in our teaching strategies, and the students who might be excluded by these practices, in order to make the changes needed to our educational practice to ensure social justice and equality. Every task we ask students to perform can create potential barriers for some students.<\/p>\n<p>In the left-hand column, list the teaching activities for a session you might teach. Then in the next columns identify the student activity involved, thinking carefully about <strong>what students are actually required to <\/strong><strong><em>do<\/em><\/strong>. Then list the barriers to learning that may be created, and the students who may be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>An example of a face-to-face lecture is given below.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"120\"><strong>Teaching strategy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"123\"><strong>Student activity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"126\"><strong>Barriers to learning<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"136\"><strong>Students who may be impacted<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"96\"><strong>Solutions<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"120\">Face to face lectures<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Listening<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">Cognitive processing<\/td>\n<td width=\"136\">Students with cognitive processing issues or who are deaf<\/td>\n<td width=\"96\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"120\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Taking notes<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">Writing skills and speed<\/p>\n<p>Large social space<\/td>\n<td width=\"136\">Dyslexic student.

Identify the solutions<\/h3>\n<p>Using the principles of UDL, identify some potential solutions to the barriers you identified in the previous reflection, by suggesting some changes to your practice.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of some solutions to the barriers to learning identified in face-to-face lectures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recording with captions provided after the session (Representation)<br \/>\nRecording and summary slides, videos or audio explanations of complex topics covered (Representation)<\/li>\n<li>Recording or asynchronous resources provided, quiet pauses for reflection or tasks (Engagement)<br \/>\nReassurance that movement or leaving the session is allowed (Engagement)<br \/>\nClear instructions for group tasks, choice in who and how feed back is given, and working alone allowed (Action and expression)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Re-write your session plan<\/h3>\n<p>Apply your solutions for your personas to your plan, and note any additional considerations identified in the Tutor Notes and Notes for inclusive practice and diversity sections.<\/p>\n<p>While consideration of one persona might not result in a vast number of changes, consideration of all 6 in the document might suggest a suite of changes. When applied, together these will ensure you have designed an inclusive, culturally sensitive session.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Where Next?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Map of Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Below is a map of the toolkit and workshop topics, to aid your navigation.
