Are you looking for a more effective way to incorporate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into your lessons? Over the past year of remote instruction and learning, I’ve modified how I manage the asynchronous aspects of teaching by creating a one-stop shop using Hyperdocs—digital documents that include hyperlinked interactivities that students use to navigate a lesson or project. HyperDocs made it easy to integrate UDL, and I was able to create opportunities for voice and choice as well as accessibility, which certified that all my students could access the class material in ways that met their needs. Rather than posting articles, assignments, and discussions in our learning management system (LMS) where activities end up under different tabs, menu bars, and threads, which were often hard for students to locate, I created one HyperDoc, which students completed prior to each class session, so that all of the activities would be in one place. I encouraged the students to work on the HyperDocs at their own pace and take breaks often. |
