- PublicationDeveloping Universal Design In Teaching and Learning: Using a freely available eBook(2019-07-12)
; ; This paper discusses how you can use a freely available eBook to develop universal design in your teaching.136 - PublicationInclusive Teaching & Learning Case Studies in Engineering, Architecture & Affiliated Disciplines(UCD Access & Lifelong Learning, 2021-10-14)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Diversity and inclusion are core to UCD values. We seek to attract students from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds and students who reflect the true diversity of the country. And as a global university, UCD attracts international students from over 100 countries. This diversity enriches our campus, and the experience of our students. The University's strategy 2020-2024 'Rising to the Future' also recognises the importance of inclusion and diversity, in seeking to "provide an inclusive educational experience that defines international best practice and prepares our graduates to thrive in present and future societies." However, an inclusive educational experience will not be achieved by simply creating diversity in the student body. It requires that we adjust our approach in everything we do to support and encourage our students’ success. We have clearly articulated in our strategy, and further emphasised in our Education and Student Success strategy, that our goal is to "equip all our educators with the tools and resources required to embed Universal Design for Learning on an institution-wide basis".33 - PublicationUniversal Design for Curriculum DesignAt the core of Universal Design is a focus on variety, choice and feedback for students. Universal Design encourages a movement away from the traditional didactic, text-based classroom practices, embracing of a more dynamic, active and evolving multi-media classroom. This book showcases some of the highly innovation teaching and learning practices in University College Dublin using the framework of Universal Design.

; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; What do students say they want from university teaching and learning? We must always ensure that the student voice is central in the development of educational practices. The feedback above came from students linked with UCD Access & Lifelong Learning who were asked simple open questions about their experiences in an anonymous online survey. We asked only: what helped and what was difficult? These students overwhelmingly asked for more clarity, more flexibility and more feedback. Universal Design offers an approach which ensures the clarity, flexibility and feedback sought by students.251 - PublicationUCD Access Symposium Proceedings 2018: Marking 30 Years of Services for Students with Disabilities in UCD(UCD Access and Lifelong Learning, 2018-11-01)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; This publication contains a series of papers presented at the third Access Symposium held in University College Dublin (UCD) to mark and celebrate thirty years of services for students with disabilities. On a lovely summer day in May, passionate, inspirational and engaging speakers simultaneously whetted our appetites, challenged our view of the world, and propelled us to do more. These speakers gave us both staff and student perspectives on the inclusion of students with disabilities and left us in no doubt as to their commitment, passion and zeal for their subjects.113
