UDL can Save Us All This Fall with Judith Dutill - a podcast by Think UDL

Welcome to Episode 43 of the ThinkUDL podcast: UDL Can Save Us All This Fall with Judith Dutill. Judith is an online educator and the co-founder of the Online Learning Toolkit. She brings a wealth of knowledge about Universal Design for Learning principles to all of her faculty development endeavors. In this episode, which is part of a Summer 2020 series on Universal Design for Learning in online environments, we talk about how to give space to our students and perhaps give up some control this coming semester, and how to keep our students excited about learning in this new environment. In addition, we discuss the importance of NOT putting technology first, even in online courses, and we delve into a few pivotal questions instructors should ask of themselves and of their students and why we shouldn’t be afraid of the question “why.” I was fortunate to partake in one of the Online Learning Toolkit’s programs this summer where I was able to virtually meet Judith. Camp COOL, or Camp Operation Online Learning, with over 100 other instructors across the country and world, not only helped all of us to design online courses for the coming fall semester, but created a wonderful community while doing so. The Online Learning Toolkit also offers a “Fall On Call” option to support faculty over the course of the fall 2020 semester and you can find more information on that in our resource section. You will also see a self-paced course called DRIVE on the resources for a self-paced version to get your courses on-line ready!
