Join us for the keynote presentation from Christina Bosch and a reception at the Second pan-Canadian Conference on UDL, May 31 at 6 pm in the WA Murphy Centre at UPEI. Bosch employs User Experience Design methods to investigate instruction and learning in juvenile corrections, and to co-design, with users, inquiry-based UDL curricula to meet the unique learning needs of incarcerated youth. Through a shared focus on removing barriers to the achievement of goals, UDL and UX in education implicitly recognize a ubiquitous international value in education systems: transferability of experience. Inclusive education adopts this value but rejects the idea of “disposable populations” and aims to facilitate high-quality participation amongst all learners in the interactions and relationships that constitute learning environments. Bosch will examine how the UDL and UX frameworks begin to bridge the well-known gaps in education—between research versus practice, static versus transferable learning, learners versus teachers—by offering accessible, collaborative methods of designing with, rather than just for, learners.
