Universal design for instruction
Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) is a framework for college educators that guides the development of inclusive instructional materials and methods, with the goal of teaching all students, including those with disabilities, more effectively.
UDI has nine basic principles:
Principle 1: Equitable use Principle 2: Flexibility in use Principle 3: Simple and intuitive Principle 4: Perceptible information Principle 5: Tolerance for error Principle 6: Low physical effort Principle 7: Size and space for approach and use Principle 8: A community of learners Principle 9: Instructional climate[1]
The UDI principles were developed by the [Center on Postsecondary Education and Disability at the University of Connecticut]http://www.cped.uconn.edu
