 * National Center on Universal Design for Learning ** at @http://www.udlcenter.org/ is where you will learn about NEW UDL Guidelines 2.0, UDL and the Curriculum, UDL and Expert Learners, UDL and Technology.

The site also offers **CAST UDL Online Modules**. @http://www.udlcenter.org/implementation/modules
 * //These two online modules introduce the theory, principles and application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to teacher candidates and in-service teachers. They provide higher education faculty with a multimedia, interactive online-learning environment that can be embedded in instructional methods courses. They are designed to be flexible enough to be used as part of an online, hybrid or face-to-face course. It is suggested that you create an interactive community of practice using a blog, wiki or other type of interactive web 2.0 media // (CAST, 2011).
