Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of learner variability and addresses how the Universal Design for Learning framework can be applied to meet the diverse needs of all students in a virtual learning environment. Emphasis is placed on how educational professionals at multiple levels can apply their current knowledge to design and implement effective and universally designed instruction through multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. It also addresses the importance of providing specialized instruction, including how educators can provide federally protected educational supports in virtual learning environments. The authors provide directions for further examination of virtual learning and the implications of this instructional delivery model for meeting the needs of all learners in light of recent trends.
