Learning Access Through Universal Design Fellowship

JMU faculty are invited to learn how to apply the fundamental principles of universal design for learning (UDL) in our Learning Access Through Universal Design Fellowship, offered in partnership with CHBS and CFI.

Built on content from our self-paced offering, Learning Access through Universal Design, this fellowship is an opportunity for faculty participants to develop UDL-informed course components (e.g. an accessible syllabus, instructional media, or assessment item) and to document this problem-solving process in a real teaching context as educational design research.
