UDL@Dawson is more than a concept! It\u2019s also a research team and a lively learning community.<\/h2>\n

UDL@Dawson: The Research Team<\/h5>\n

The UDL@Dawson team, previously known as \u00c9quipe CL\u00c9, is a team made up of two teachers in the French department (Catherine Soleil and Laure Galipeau) and a professional in the Student AccessAbility Centre (Effie Konstantinopoulos). This team was created in Winter\u00a02011, thanks to institutional funding, in an effort to create an inclusive learning environment at the college level.<\/p>\n

In their research on inclusion<\/strong><\/span>, they came across the UDL model<\/a>, a model they soon embraced as a means to respond to the needs of all students from the perspective of inclusive pedagogy. After much reflection on the course delivery, evaluation of student competencies and student engagement, Laure Galipeau and Catherine Soleil have been implementing the model in their classrooms since Winter 2012. The team has since received a PAREA research grant (2014 – 2017) to measure \u201cImpacts de la conception universelle de l\u2019apprentissage (CUA) en salle de classe sur le fran\u00e7ais \u00e9crit en FLS\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The results of the research project are now available and a report<\/a> has been published and made available on the site of the Centre de documentation coll\u00e9giale (CDC).<\/p>\n

Further, since its creation, the team has actively participated in Dawson\u2019s Ped Days.<\/p>\n

Since Winter\u00a02016, the team has also been invited by a number of colleges and agencies in the network to present workshops within the scope of its research on pedagogical applications of the UDL model.<\/p>\n
