Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all learners based on scientific insights into how humans learn (CAST, the Center for Applied Special Technology, a nonprofit pioneering organization behind the development of UDL). Visit https://www.cast.org/for more details about CAST and their work.
Loyola offers in-person/face-to-face/classroom, hybrid/blended, remote synchronous, and online asynchronous courses. Please refer to the Course and Program Delivery Modes page for more details.
