Dynamic Learning Environment
Provides multiple means of engagement
Dynamic Learning Environment = Engagement of Expert Learners
- research confirms environmental changes can lead to physiological and psychological changes, including improved learning
- learning occurs through an interaction between student and learning environment
- dynamic learning environment results in allowing all students to be actively involved in creating knowledge and establishing its value
Group Dynamics of Engangement
- engagement with the learning task depends on the provision of a sufficiently flexible curriculum
- allows for learner to find the right balance of challenge and support
- without incorporating different means of learning strategies in the curriculum, students who are usually excited about learning can become disengaged
- all students need alternative models of how to achieve a goal
- it's not only the individual student that benefits from UDL, but the totality of learners that make up the learning environment
- can result in an environment of expert learners
