Abstract
Through a quantitative case study analysis of learning artifacts used in a skilled trades course at an Ontario community college, this research project examined PowerPoint presentation artifacts designed by a college instructor and assessed how they aligned with principles of UDL and the tenets of UDL curriculum design. Specifically, the artifacts were examined using the overarching three principles of the Center for Applied Special Technology’s UDL framework: (a) multiple means of representation (b) multiple means of action & expression and (c) multiple means of engagement, and within each of these then examined the four tenets of curriculum design (i) goals (ii) methods (iii) materials (iv) assessments.
