Invitation - 2024-2025 Applied Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Online Course and Winter Collaborative Sessions
by QNS qcctlonline 23 Dec '24

23 Dec '24

>From the CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy (CITA): Dear faculty members, We are happy to share a professional development opportunity that may be of interest to you. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a comprehensive framework to optimize teaching and learning based on the premise that there is no average learner. The framework draws from decades of scientific insights into learning, motivation, and the broad benefits of accessibility. The CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy now offers an asynchronous training course<https://www.cuny.edu/academics/faculty-affairs/cuny-innovative-teaching-aca…> that demonstrates the recently updated UDL guidelines and provides examples of course design, content, tools, activities, research, and software demonstrations that can make your work more inclusive. The course is divided into nine modules, which are being released throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. The first five modules are available now. Faculty may join the course at any time and complete the modules at their own pace. Register for the course<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=s_BgbwZfCU6XFZiduozH2MP…>.<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtfumurzMiE9WiNPQ-yEEMCmadu9OfgK…> Campus-based UDL Collaboratives meet monthly to discuss their challenges and strategies for applying the framework. Please express your interest in joining our campus collaborative when you register. Winter sessions will be offered to faculty and staff who could not attend any fall sessions and would like to connect with CUNY colleagues to discuss how to apply the UDL considerations to their work. Winter Session 1 January 7-9, 2-3 pm Register for Session 1<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtfumurzMiE9WiNPQ-yEEMCmadu9OfgK…> <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtfumurzMiE9WiNPQ-yEEMCmadu9OfgK…> Winter Session 2 January 28-30, 4-5 pm Register for Session 2<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvf-ysqTgsHdHrop43_2hnpPWVZTjvdM…> For any questions about these training initiatives, reach out to Jessica.Murray(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Jessica.Murray@cuny.edu> Happy Friday, CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy (CITA) [Logo, company name Description automatically generated] Office of Faculty Affairs https://bit.ly/CUNYInnoPed
