IL-58: Universal Design

CU Boulder is committed to improving the accessibility of the campus environment. We have exceeded the regulatory compliance by providing resources through two main campus resource centers. The first is the Digital Accessibility Office (DAO). The DAO provides a variety of resources that include content accessibility fundamentals, document accessibility, accessible events and presentations, instructor support, resources and guidance for the learning management system and a variety of additional resources. They also have several training opportunities for employees, as well as a self-paced resources. Accessibility and the accommodation of all learnings (universal design) is also supported by two campus policies that were created to allow for all individuals to achieve their academic and professional goals and aspirations. This information is available at this website: https://www.colorado.edu/digital-accessibility/ . The Center for Teaching and Learning also provides a significant number of resources that support universal design. Instructors are able to consult with members of the CTL, but also have access to a micro-credential called ‘Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Develop Experiences for Diverse Learners.’ This course sets the expectation around the UDL guidelines, opportunities to apply them, and the development of a personal UDL action plan.
