UDL Now!

When discussing “remote” learning, many minds jump to “online learning.” Yet, robust online learning requires every student to have a device and a strong internet connection which may not be a reality. If a lack of devices or internet connectivity creates a barrier for a single learner, a district has to ensure there are other pathways to learn. This conversation often becomes “online” vs. “packets,” and neither is a viable solution for high-quality learning. In the field of UDL, we often say, “What is necessary for some, is good for all.” All students should have access to home learning experiences that do not rely on technology and internet connectivity, but these learning experiences cannot be “one-size.” This is necessary because there are many barriers we can predict that will impact student learning in a remote setting.
