Inclusive Learning Design Microcredential

In today’s diverse educational landscape, faculty face the significant challenge of crafting courses that effectively meet the needs of every student. Traditional teaching methods can often fall short, leaving some students struggling to access course content, participate fully, or demonstrate their understanding.

Inclusive learning design is not just a pedagogical trend; it’s a crucial component of creating a successful learning environment. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offers a proven framework to address these challenges by providing alternative and accessible methods of presentation, participation, assignment, and assessment. By incorporating UDL principles into your teaching, you ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed, fostering a more equitable and inclusive classroom.

Our Inclusive Learning Design Microcredential is specifically designed to address these challenges and equip you with the skills needed to implement UDL effectively. Through this 7.5-hour asynchronous Magna Online Course, you will gain a thorough understanding of UDL principles and learn how to apply them to your course design. You’ll discover practical strategies for creating alternative methods of engaging students and assessing their learning in ways that accommodate diverse needs.

You will be guided by experts in inclusive education and instructional design who bring a wealth of experience to their teaching. Their guidance will help you develop the confidence and competence to integrate UDL into your own courses, leading to improved student engagement and success.

This Magna Online Course is unique in its flexibility by adapting to your specific needs through a self-assessment tool that starts your journey.
