ADAPTPost all materials on-line BEFORE class:

the material is available but you will expound upon the information in class

Allow recording:contract usage – most people cannot write or type as

fast as you can speak.

Allow labtops/tablets: contract usage – typing, recording, spell check, etc

Use technology effectively: latest not always the best

PLAN – Consider UDI to work with the environment not make the students adapt

1. Equitable – provide identical experiences where possible, equivalent when not

2. Flexible – provide choice in methods3. Simple and intuitive - conduct the course to

be straightforward and predictable

UDI CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

PLAN

4. Perceptible Information – communicate effectively

5. Tolerance for error – anticipate variation in skill

6. Low physical effort – minimize nonessential physical effort

UDI CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

16

PLAN7. Size and Space for approach and use - consider approach, reach, manipulation

and use8. A community of learners – promote

interaction and community9. Instructional climate – provide welcoming

and inclusive environment
