With funding for a learning enhancement project from the National Forum for Learning and Teaching Enhancement, this guide and associated resources have been developed to support staff in higher education to understand and apply the principles of UDL to create and deliver a more inclusive curriculum and approach to learning and teaching.
This document provides a brief explanation of the theory of the UDL framework, identifying the potential benefits of a UDL approach in the HE sector. This is supported by examples of UDL in practice, including guidelines for creating UDL text documents, presentations and VLE. There are also simple suggestions for getting started with a UDL approach for use by staff and students.

Unlocking Inclusion: Toolkit for Universal Design in Higher Education, is a practical step-by-step ‘how-to guide’ to assist the higher education sector to create inclusive institutions where all students belong. Predicated on the incremental nature of mainstreaming participation of under-represented students in higher education, this updated Toolkit uses the lens of student diversity to inform and guide the design of an inclusive educational experience that embraces all students equitably.
This technical report accompanies ALTITUDE, the National Charter for Universal Design in Tertiary Education. It explains the rationale for the Charter, its development and consultation process, its strategic enablers and four pillars, and its alignment with international, national and institutional policy. It also provides guidance for adoption and implementation across further and higher education.
