Universal Design

Curricula and course material is considered to be universally designed if:

  • Students can interact with and respond to curricula and materials in multiple ways
  • Students can find meaning in material (and so motivate themselves) in different ways
  • Course material (including web-based material) is accessible to all
  • Information is presented in multiple ways.

UTS is currently developing an inclusive teaching toolkit to assist staff to implement universal design principles in their teaching and assessment practice. Watch this space!
