What is Technology's Role in UDL?

Many aspects of UDL do not require technology, but technology can be an essential asset to UDL. Technology can make it easier to provide multiple alternatives and customize teaching and learning.

Here are some ideas on how technology can be used in implementing UDL.

  • Projectors: allow students to see the material and hear the material
  • Text-to-Speech Software: allows students to hear as well as see the material
  • Closed Caption: allows students to read the words that they are hearing
  • Electronic textbooks
  • Word processing with word prediction
