UDL vs learning design and design for learning
[edit]Hi there. The article subject overlaps - at least semantically - with the established field of learning design [1] [2], as well as initiatives in British learning design that come under the heading Design for Learning [3] Contextualising UDL could benefit understanding. Cheers, Lurch61 08:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC) As a teacher, I can attest to the growing significance of UDL. (I am sitting at a presentation on it now.) Although it may be embraced by a larger category, such as "Design for Learning," it is important enough, and expanding enough, that it deserves its own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferrarama (talk • contribs) 18:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Please Do Not Merge
[edit]We need more clarity on Universal Design for Learning not less. CAST= udlcenter.org has a set of clear UDL principles and methodologies. UDL exists as defined concept. It is listed in the in the Assistive Technology act of 1998, NCLB, IDEA 2004, and the Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA)Cspooner (talk) 18:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC).
It would be a major mistake to take this important defined term and mush it together with mainstreaming and inclusion. One of our major problems as educators is that we frequently mix and match terms so we have no idea what we are talking about. UDL is a real framework that is important. It also has benefits outside of just students with disabilities thus the term universal design. While UDL has connections to other movements in education it is an important framework for designing instruction and assessment that is heavily represented in US education law. It would be a shame to merge this article and lose that focus.

Agreed, do not merge
[edit]Universal Design for Learning (UDL) already has sufficient depth and history to warrant its own article in Wikipedia. In the literature, UDL is often grouped with similar education-related offshoots of the original Universal Design principles--frameworks like universal design of instruction (UDI), universal design for instruction (also UDI), universal instructional design (UID), etc. Universal Design for Learning, with its three guiding principles rooted in neuroscience, is perhaps the farthest outlier, yet it still belongs in this group due to its strong philosophical ties to the UD philosophy of proactive inclusiveness, anticipation of diverse learner needs, and distinction from disability accommodation. For these reasons, I believe it should remain its own topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cspooner (talk • contribs) 23:46, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
removed merge banner
[edit]I removed the merge proposal banner. I agree with the consensus that UDL should be its own article, and, frankly, the proposed merge doesn't make any sense. UDL encompasses a set of curriculum design and pedagogical principles. Mainstreaming and inclusion are concerned with organization of time and space for learners with special needs within a school setting. They are somewhat related, but surely distinct. I hope to contribute to this article in the upcoming weeks, making it more robust.
