Pan-Canadian Conference on UDL: Keynote Presentation

Event Date:
Wednesday, May 31, 2017, 6:00 pm
Location:
W.A. Murphy Student Centre
Room:
McMillan Hall
Join us for the keynote presentation from Christina Bosch and a reception at the Second pan-Canadian Conference on UDL, May 31 at 6 pm in the W.A. Murphy Centre at 91探花. Bosch employs User Experience Design methods to investigate instruction and learning in juvenile corrections, and to co-design, with users, inquiry-based UDL curricula to meet the unique learning needs of incarcerated youth. Through a shared focus on removing barriers to the achievement of goals, UDL and UX in education implicitly recognize a ubiquitous international value in education systems: transferability of experience. Inclusive education adopts this value but rejects the idea of 鈥渄isposable populations鈥 and aims to facilitate high-quality participation amongst all learners in the interactions and relationships that constitute learning environments. Bosch will examine how the UDL and UX frameworks begin to bridge the well-known gaps in education鈥攂etween research versus practice, static versus transferable learning, learners versus teachers鈥攂y offering accessible, collaborative methods of designing with, rather than just for, learners.
