The interactive tutorial format, provided by Springshare's LibWizard, achieves Universal Design for Learning (UDL) through multiple means of engagement and representation. The literature points to UDL principles for best practices in online interactive tutorial development. Interactive tutorials can be chunked and made available throughout the teaching period, in contrast with passive video tutorials. LibWizard has the ability to engage students of various learning abilities by offering autonomy, options, and immediate formative assessment. Participants will be introduced to the implementation of UDL checkpoints in my intentional design of a tutorial for teaching students how to find and read a scientific article.
Participants will:
- Identify aspects of the tutorial design that can align with UDL guidelines, (the three high level points underneath each principle.)
- Assess which UDL checkpoints to use when designing an interactive tutorial.
- Be able to apply UDL checkpoints to the intentional design of an interactive tutorial.
