Universal Design for Learning: Variability in Emotion and Learning

Samantha G. Daley research scientist at CAST presented on "Supporting All Learners Through UDL: Variability in Emotion and Learning" at Towson University.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Samantha G. Daley is a research scientist at CAST, where she investigates the relationship between emotions and cognitive performance of students, particularly those with learning disabilities. She focuses on the role of emotions in learning activities and how to design instruction to reflect the relationship between emotion and cognition in learning.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Using the UDL framework and its practical guidelines, participants will gain:

> A working knowledge of the neuroscience of learning and how individual variability plays out in different educational environments

> Guidelines and techniques to apply UDL principles to the design of lessons and curriculum units

> Strategies on how to improve classroom practice and school culture by raising awareness of variability and UDL

> Access to and tips on using flexible instructional tools such as CAST learning, authoring, and planning tools:  UDL Exchange, Science Writer, and UDL Connect

Todd Rose: Variability in Learning Matters

Todd Rose, from CAST at the Cyberlearning Research Summit on January 18, 2012, discusses why variability in learning matters.  There is the myth of the average learner that currently exists.  We need to understand the variability in learning and how to design new learning environments for the full range of learners in the classroom.

 

He ends his talk with this question:  "What do we want cyberlearning to be?  First we need to understand variability and how we design for it."
