The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) project was a collaboration between 10 universities and colleges across Ontario to develop a 6-module open educational resource for post-secondary educators. This 2nd edition open courseware provides educators with an introduction to the UDL 3.0 framework and its application in support of AODA, EDI, and Indigenous pedagogies.
