| "Universal Design is an approach to designing course instruction, materials, and content to benefit people of all learning styles without adaptation or retrofitting. Universal Design provides equal access to learning, not simply equal access to information. Universal Design allows the student to control the method of accessing information while the teacher monitors the learning process and initiates any beneficial methods." | |

| "In this chapter we offer some guidance on teaching a class for the first time. We discuss how to structure a course, write a syllabus, take advantage of online course software and present a lecture. Yet this chapter can only outline the basics of teaching your own class. As a first-time instructor, you should consult with faculty in your department, other teaching fellows, academic and professional journals in your field." | |
