National UDL Online Workshops – Workshop Two: Inclusive Curriculum

The HE Universal Design for Learning Centre for Excellence at Atlantic Technological University is proud to present a series of online workshops led by national experts. This series will be available to all higher education staff throughout Ireland. Through this, we hope to bring colleagues together and contribute to the national conversation around accessibility and inclusivity at HEIs.

There will be three workshops altogether, each covering a unique angle and led by national experts in their field. You can register for all workshops individually. Please take a look at the details of workshop two below:
