FLO MicroCourse: Practical Application of UDL in Designing Equitable Assessments

This one-week Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) MicroCourse is designed to help educators and instructional designers bridge the gap between the theory and practice of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to make learning more equitable and meaningful.
