Using UDL to Create Effective Educational Assessments

The Inclusive Pedagogy Committee (IPC) has purchased campus access to a recording of the webinar, “Using UDL to Create Effective Educational Assessments” with Dr. Eric Moore, PhD. Building on a solid foundation of clear goals and backward design, Dr. Moore presents an approach using Universal design for Learning (UDL) to design flexible assessments that benefit everyone.

The webinar recording may be found at:

Supplemental materials (presentation slides and transcript) may be found at:

Discussion Opportunity

In addition to providing these resources to the community, the IPC is offering three opportunities to engage with these ideas through discussion. If you are generally interested in UDL as a pedagogical strategy or interested in learning about how this framework may specifically be used to reduce barriers in assessment, then you are encouraged to attend.

Participants will view the webinar before the discussion and then discuss the ideas raised in the webinar.

Participants may choose from one of three discussion times. All discussions will take place in Zoom. Zoom meeting details will be shared after completion of this RSVP form. The discussions are planned for the following dates/times:

  • Thursday, January 28, 4:30-5:30 pm
  • Friday, January 29, 10-11:00 am
  • Tuesday, February 2, 11:10-12:20 pm

If you are interested in participating in one of the discussion meetings please RSVP through the following link: http://go.lawrence.edu/skbc

Moodle: Aggregated Resources

In an effort to make finding resources easier for everyone, Jedidiah has created a blog post aggregating all the Moodle resources. You will find the post at the link below.

The post will be used to host links to all the Moodle workshops, support videos, and links. Links will be grouped by topic. If there is a Moodle support topic you would like to request, please contact Jedidiah Rex.
