We are excited to announce a significant enhancement to our website with the recent update of our Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The highlight of this update is the introduction of user-friendly tiles, strategically designed to elevate the overall user experience. These tiles are crafted to facilitate quick access to a range of resources, including UDL podcasts, webinars, checklists, case studies, and more.

This ADCET webinar, Enabling inclusive employability - designing work-integrated learning that supports students in uncovering who they are, and who they want to become, presented by Emily Jones, provided an overview of her doctoral research project that explores utilising UDL principles to design work-integrated learning. The presentation included an overview of the research aims, the different stages of the research and the concept of utilising UDL for WIL.

This podcast is from Dr Thomas Tobin's keynote presentation at the ADCET UDL Symposium, "Reach Everyone and Teach Everyone with Universal Design for Learning". Discover how to implement UDL in the design of interactions with learners, creating spaces for best teaching practices to take place – in the classroom and beyond.

In a recent article, Darlene McLennan, Manager, ADCET, discussed the need for substantial support and systemic changes in tertiary education for students with disability, as nine out of ten future jobs will require postsecondary education, posing a substantial risk for this group. She also highlights the underfunding of the tertiary sector, particularly ADCET, emphasising the need for a well-funded and deliberate response to ensure equitable access for students with disability in tertiary education.
