Learn how to apply the fundamental principles of universal design for learning in our self-paced Canvas course, with instructional designers ready to consult with you. Learn more about the Learning Access Through Universal Design (LAUD) course or sign up at any time.

Why join the LAUD course? As you progress through the course, you’ll gain skills and knowledge to help you apply inclusivity principles in your teaching practices.

You will be equipped to create:

A syllabus that uses inclusive language and works with screen readers
An image-rich course in Canvas that is still screen-reader friendly and meaningful to people with diverse needs
Instructional videos with captions
Multiple representations of instructional content based on the principles of universal design for learning

Is this the same as LAUD Fellowship? Our LAUD self-paced course is related to, but not the same as, the LAUD Fellowship. You can join the LAUD self-paced course at any time.
