Keynote Speaker
Dr Thomas J. Tobin
The ADCET UDL Symposium 2024 is honoured to feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Thomas Tobin, a renowned expert in the field of Universal Design for Learning. Dr. Tobin's presentation, Scaling Up with Universal Design for Learning . . . and How to Get Colleagues to Join You will provide attendees with valuable insights and practical strategies when working across your organisation to develop inclusive and engaging learning environments.
Join us for a thought-provoking presentation that aims to challenge us to radically rethink how we approach the creation of educational materials and learning experiences. Far beyond just accommodating learners with disability, Thomas will guide us towards a broader framework and how adopting Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles can benefit all students.
Prepare to be inspired as Thomas’s keynote presentation reframes the way we think about inclusive education. Walk away with a renewed commitment to making your educational materials and practices truly inclusive, ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to succeed.
Thomas has also kindly agreed to present the closing session, where you'll have a final chance to engage with Thomas, who will reflect on the day and share practical ideas to energise, empower, and embolden you to lower barriers for access and learning when you return to your everyday context. Bring your big take-aways, questions, and connections - we'll end our day with collaboration, support, and community!
