UDL Evolution with Lindsay Masland

Welcome to Episode 58 of the Think UDL podcast: UDL Evolution with Lindsay Masland. Dr. Lindsay Masland is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and is the Assistant Director of Faculty Professional Development in the Center for Academic Excellence which is the Teaching and Learning center at Appalachian State University. She is a trusted colleague and here’s a fun fact, she has provided one of my very first introductions to Universal Design for Learning! She is a noted speaker and faculty developer and we have worked together on course redesign institutes and other initiatives to integrate UDL in faculty development at Appalachian State. Lindsay joins me today to have a frank discussion about the evolution of UDL. Not only will we talk about how UDL is discussed in academia, but how it is often introduced and how it can be viewed today. We will get to see her perspective as a social scientist and as an educational psychologist to talk about what UDL is now and how we can frame it in our conversations in Higher Education today. I am delighted to pick her brain for a very important conversation about equity pedagogy and how UDL has evolved for her and for higher education!
