Universal Instructional Design
Universal Instructional Design (UID) - also known as Universal Course Design (UCD) - is an innovative integrative approach that fosters excellence in teaching by making curricula accessible and applicable to diverse learners. Northeastern University's UID team has been trained in the pedagogy and practices of UID through the "Pedagogy and Student Services for Institutional Transformation" (PASS IT) Institute at the University of Minnesota (funded by the U.S. Department of Education). This project serves to introduce the pedagogy of UID and provide an opportunity to enhance and maximize teaching and learning across the Northeastern University campus.As an introduction to the concept of UID you can download slides from a presentation.
Those interested can find more information on UID, including a free book and an extensive bibliography, from the PASS IT webiste at the University of Minnesota.
