Udl Quiz: Universal Design For Learning MCQ

1.

True or False: The goal of providing multiple means of engagement is to enhance student involvement.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The goal of providing multiple means of engagement is to enhance student involvement. This means that by offering various ways for students to engage with the material, such as through different activities, technologies, or learning styles, they are more likely to be actively involved in their learning. This can lead to increased motivation, interest, and understanding of the content. By providing multiple means of engagement, educators can cater to the diverse needs and preferences of their students, ultimately enhancing their overall learning experience.

B. ... develop lessons that attend to each of the brain networks.

Explanation
The directors of CAST have focused their efforts in studying neurological research made possible through modern technology. This has made an impact on Universal Design for Learning and the development of the UDL Guidelines so that better lessons can be developed which attend to each of the three brain networks.

In what way could traditional text present a barrier to learners?
- A.
  
  Traditional printed text requires vision.
- B.
  
  Traditional printed text requires decoding skills.
- C.
  
  Both A & B
Correct Answer
C. Both A & B

Explanation
If a student does not have sight or does not have fundamental skills in decoding and phonemic awareness, then they will not be able to make meaning of the traditional printed text so supports are necessary.

In what way could video present a barrier to learners?
- A.
  
  Video requires sight.
- B.
  
  Video requires background knowledge of the material.
- C.
  
  Video requires background knowledge of the culture referenced in the film.
- D.
  
  Video requries the ability to focus on a storyline and make meaning from it.
- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the above

Explanation
Video can present a barrier to learners in multiple ways. Firstly, it requires sight, which means that learners with visual impairments may struggle to access the content. Secondly, video often assumes a certain level of background knowledge of the material being presented, making it difficult for learners who lack that prior knowledge. Additionally, video may reference specific cultural aspects that learners are unfamiliar with, creating a barrier for understanding. Lastly, video requires the ability to focus on a storyline and derive meaning from it, which can be challenging for learners who struggle with attention or comprehension.

In what way could paper, pencil, crayons, or manipulatives present a barrier to learners?
- A.
  
  They require fine motor skills.
- B.
  
  They require spatial organizational skills.
- C.
  
  They require intensive training.
- D.
  
  They require spatial awareness.
Correct Answer(s)
A. They require fine motor skills.
B. They require spatial organizational skills.
D. They require spatial awareness.

Explanation
Paper, pencil, crayons, or manipulatives can present a barrier to learners because they require fine motor skills. This means that students need to have control and coordination of their hand movements in order to effectively use these materials. Additionally, these materials require spatial organizational skills, as students need to understand how to arrange and organize their work on paper or manipulate objects in space. Lastly, they require spatial awareness, as students need to be able to understand and interpret visual information and relationships between objects.

True or False: UDL requires technology.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
However, there is an important exception. For some students, the use of personal assistive technologies – e.g., an electric wheelchair, eyeglasses, or a cochlear implant – is essential for basic physical and sensory access to learning environments. Those students will need their assistive technologies, even during activities where other students may not use any technologies at all. Even in classrooms that are well equipped with UDL materials and methods, their assistive technology neither precludes nor replaces the need for UDL overall. (For a more elaborate discussion of the complementary roles of UDL and Assistive Technology see Rose, D., Hasselbring, T. S., Stahl, S., & Zabala, J. (2005))

In short, technology is not synonymous with UDL, but it does play a valuable role in its implementation and conceptualization.
