UDL lesson reflection

UDL ChecklistThis past week in CEP 811, we have spent time learning about Universal Design, whose main goal to remove barriers to knowledge acquisition and student success by analyzing content delivery and interaction. We were then asked to evaluate the lesson we had previously posted to Merlot using a checklist. Overall my biggest strength within the lesson was that students were working in groups on computers and online so they are able to manipulate content and decide what ways they would like to contribute to the groups success. However, I realize now that, although U provide an example (early on) and a rubric, I do not provide any sort of structure or scaffolding to help students realize in what order they should take what steps to successfully complete the project. Also, any student who does not have the ability or access to tools that allow for successful computer use, would be hard pressed to complete this assignment.  I have posted the link to the checklist page below:
