Ashford 3: - Week 2 - Discussion 2

Universal Design for Learning and Assistive Technology

One of the benefits of   incorporating technology into pedagogy is that it provides the opportunity   for learning to those who may not have had that opportunity. In your   discussion: 

• Describe each of the three        principles of Universal Design for Learning (U.D.L.). 
• Explain why assistive        technology and U.D.L. are significant in teaching and learning. 
• Identify at least three        assistive-technology devices and explain how they accelerate and enhance        learning. 
• Explain how you could        implement the principles of U.D.L. in your current or future educational        setting. 
• Provide examples of how you        would integrate the assistive technology into your current or future        educational setting. 

Guided Response:   Analyze several of your peers’ posts. Let at least two of your peers know how   their chosen assistive-technology devices could be of assistance to you in   your current or future educational setting. Suggest any devices you have   found that may be helpful in their environment.
