This session will explore how Generative AI (GAI) tools can be used to implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles during course creation. The principles of UDL will be reviewed, followed by an active discussion of how GAI can support implementation of UDL. Participants will engage in idea generation while also gaining insights from educational literature and presenters on GAI supporting UDL. Finally, the session will allow for participants to reflect on the new age of GAI in the classroom and how to enhance student success, specifically how to leverage GAI to move students to higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

This session will demonstrate how to find and use different tools such as the Immersive Reader, Read & Write, Anthology Ally, and others with an emphasis on how students can use them to access digital course content. While many of these tools have features that may help students with disabilities, there are ways in which they can benefit everyone.
