Registration is now open!
This year’s theme is INCLUSION: Changing mindsets, changing practice. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for addressing the educational needs of diverse and variable learners in many settings across many stages of life. The purpose of this UDL International Symposium is to create an opportunity for those at all stages of their UDL journey to come together and share their learning.

Goodwin University (East Hartford, Connecticut, USA) holds its 4th Annual UDL Conference on October 17th, this year exploring “Learning-Driven Design”—a transformative approach to empower students as active, engaged learners.
Learning-driven design represents a paradigm shift in how we approach universal design in higher education. Moving beyond accessibility, this approach places learner agency at the center of course design, asking not just how to make content accessible but also how to empower students to become skilled, motivated, and strategic learners.

New Course on UDL and Inclusion for educators in the UK and Indonesia
A new online professional development course has been devised by colleagues at the University of Worcester and Universitas Indonesia that aims to provide lecturers in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with basic insights regarding UDL and its application for course design. The course consists of 4 short modules, should take about 2 hours to complete and is free to access with the unique opportunity to offer feedback to improve the course for the future.
The course was funded by the British Council as part of it Global Partnerships initiative which is currently supporting the project titled ‘Strengthening Higher Education in Indonesia and the UK through Universal Design for Learning’.
