Abstract

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework, first introduced by the Harvard School of Graduate Education in 1984, to incorporate different approaches to engage and motivate learners from diverse backgrounds in an inclusive learning environment. UDL promotes academic curriculum design based on three main principles: (1) multiple means of representation, (2) multiple means of action and expression, and (3) multiple means of engagement. This study shows how UDL can be implemented in a principles of microeconomics course, providing examples of good practice for delivery structures and evaluation criteria that integrate UDL strategies.
