Universal Design for Assessment

UDL UK and Ireland Network

Dr Kevin Merry provides critical insights into designing assessments according to the Universal Design for Learning  (UDL) principles.

<p>The Centre for Assistive Special Technology (CAST), the world’s leading authority on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), define assessment as “the process of gathering information about a learner’s performance to make educational decisions”. The UDL perspective on assessment is that it encourages “assessment by design”, but what does this mean specifically for teachers in Higher Education? How can the UDL principles be used to design effective assessment approaches? What considerations should be made when designing UDL friendly assessments? In this webinar, Dr Kevin Merry will address those aforementioned questions by unpicking the assessment process, including its purpose, its role in learning, and its role in supporting learners to become expert in their learning. Specifically, Kevin will discuss the key considerations that teachers in Higher Education should make when designing assessments from a UDL perspective, debunking some commonly held myths about UDL assessment practices in the process. This webinar is a must for anyone with an interest in learning, teaching and assessment in Higher Education. </p>
