The most important thing I learned this week was about the assessment and evaluation improvements that are built into the UDL framework. UDL removes the barriers of accurate assessment and takes individual learning differences and media constraints into consideration. Chapter Seven from Teaching Students in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning, addresses the lack of appropriate supports allowed during assessment, as well as the lack of assessment integration within the curriculum. UDL uses knowledge of the three brain networks to design assessment that is flexible, meaningful and accurate.
