Student Diversity

Student diversity is a very important component of

the education setting. Universal design minimizes the

need for individual accommodations and strives to

include all learners. Instruction is planned by

accounting for the active participation of learners who

are culturally and physically diverse.

Presenting Material

When presenting material it is very important that it be

presented in a variety of ways such as spoken text or printed text

and pictures such as illustrations, photos, animation, or video

that are intended to promote learning. Most of the time material

is not presented in the actual classroom but offered at a

distance. Therefore, material is presented on

CD’s, TV, videos, charts, graphs, computer software and

websites.
