Minneapolis, Minn. (08/25/2022) — Dr. Guy Boysen, professor of psychology at McKendree University, chaired a symposium called "Universal Design for Learning and the Teaching of Psychology: Application and Evaluation" at the American Psychological Association's Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minn., on August 4. This symposium was part of programming for Division 2 of the APA, the Society for the Teaching of Psychology.
Four presenters provided their views and applications on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), including Dr. Boysen, who presented "Is Universal Design for Learning the New Learning Style?"
UDL is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Created by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), UDL remains one of the core levers of change to help make learning inclusive and transformative for everyone. It is an approach to education that has been extremely influential at the elementary and secondary level, and it is being applied increasingly in higher education as well.
