Welcome to the UDL Project!By Jana Nicol
It started as an action research project on Universal Design for Learning by a team of teachers at Island View School in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada... ...and has since become a place to learn about UDL, find useful tools to facilitate its implementation, and share ideas |
Check out the blog!
The blog has a series of articles about UDL, and follows my journey to gradually implement UDL in the classroom. I'd love to accept submissions from other educators! If you have any interest in submitting a blog to this website, please feel free to contact me.
The UDL Project in the Media
I've been featured on two episodes of UDL in 15 Minutes with UDL leader and author Loui Lord Nelson!
UDL in 15 Minutes is a weekly podcast featuring interviews with educators on a variety of subjects related to Universal Design for Learning. |
In episode 10 (2019), we discuss following the principles of Universal Design for Learning in designing the physical space of the classroom and putting goal-setting at the forefront of learning.

In episode 115 (2024), we talk about how the UDL framework can be applied in a variety of roles with the education system, and how a UDL mindset continually challenges us to reduce barriers to learning for all learners - including students, teachers, and educational leaders.

Western Illinois University published one of my blog entries about removing systemic barriers in education through UDL. They feature a lot of guest bloggers who write about various topics in education. Follow this link to see more!
