The National Center on Universal Design for Learning just launched the UDL Series. It
provides web-based rich media presentations and resources to increase understanding of the UDL framework, enhance utilization of UDL tools, processes, and resources, support effective UDL implementation, and inform UDL advocates, families, and communities about professional development and policy initiatives.My favorite is the Lady Gaga presentation from Dr. David Rose. ====I came across this video a few weeks ago and think it's phenomenal. It's about 10 minutes long and worth every single nanosecond. " Modern brain research has radically changed how we think about learning. Rejecting the myth of an “average” learner, this new view emphasizes the importance of natural variability and the role that context plays in shaping learning outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Todd Rose discusses what modern neuroscience has revealed about the origins of variability, and what this means for the way we design effective cyberlearning environments." ====
