Cohort 6 UDL Projects
Fall 2011 – Spring 2012
Lori Alward
Math
Goal is to provide students more practice time to both engage
students and to help them with assessments. She will use
Angel for the first time with Math 85 students where she will
provide links to electronic practice pages which are instantly
corrected. Practice quizzes will be posted online which can be
taken as often as needed to succeed. A math related Global
Warming Project will also be piloted.
David Bahrt
Nursing
Goal is to provide more access to course information through
additional representational strategies such as: 1. Use of a
preparation sheet 2. Making PowerPoint’s available 3.
Expand active learning through simulation, case studies, and
video 4. Tegrity recordings. This will all minimize lecturing
time.
Goal is to make course information more visual through use
of concept mapping of critical course content. Bryce will start
the scaffolding of this project by having students identify
learning styles as different types of learners approach and
build concept maps differently. Students will use Prezi to
build the concept maps as it allows 10 people to be online at
the same time working on the mapping.
Goal is to engage students with choices about how they
approach this course which is Biology for Non-Majors. She
will offer 2 tracks for her students to pick from – a regular
track and an individual track. Both tracks have same lectures,
same labs, and same final. Regular track involves 4 tests.
Individual track involves 9 mini projects and weekly
conferences.
Goal is to add additional access to HD 101 course through
introducing her new- to- the -college -students to Angel.
Kathy will use the grade book and attendance features of
Angel so students can track their own grades and attendance
which enhances engagement and responsibility. An additional
project she will pilot is adding the use of an Audience
Response System to enhance a training on Stress and
Advising that she regularly offers to her department.
Goal is to engage students as active researchers in the study
of grammar skills through developing a virtual no cost
textbook using a Wiki. This Wiki will be accessible for any
students in her classes or other classes who need engaging
beginning/intermediate grammar covering areas such as runons, comma splices, and fragments.

Alice Di Certo
Art
Goal is to provide her web-enhanced Art Studio Course with
more ways of learning course material through using Tegrity
to record videos. Her plan is to make a Tegrity video to
accompany her 5 big projects assigned during the quarter.
The videos will describe the project and showing previous
successful work of students. She is also planning on color
coding assignment sheets and feedback sheets.
Thomas Ferguson
Chemistry
Goal is to make more time for instructional contact time for
students with the instructor through making a Tegrity video
of the lectures which will be made available to students
through Angel. Students will be required to watch the video
prior to coming to class. The class will then be 100%
devoted to working with students. Scope and sequence will
be done to determine which concepts have been the most
difficult in order to determine order of priority. Will integrate
video into class grading system.
Goal is to provide better access to course content in a hybrid
online Statistics class which is not currently user friendly. For
each of the 20 chapters in the book, he will embed the text,
video, and questions on the same screen and build this over
the next quarters. In addition, he will write specific outcomes
for each of the chapters above to help meet Quality Matters
certification requirements.
Goal is to update representation of her arterial blood gasses
course materials currently posted on Power Point. She will
update the visuals related to look, organization, and graphics.
As she reworks the content, she will divide up the time spent
between lecture, small group, and up front activities to foster
more engagement.
Goal is to provide more access to HD 101 course content
through using Tegrity and Angel. He already posts grades
and now will post class materials on Angel. In addition he will
begin to use Tegrity by recording a session on how to
compute their GPA and how to do a spending plan which they
have struggled with in the past.
Goal is to provide more access to Math 85 course content
through using Angel and Tegrity. During fall quarter she
started posting class notes in Angel. She will continue this
practice during winter quarter and assign 2 students a week
to scan and post the class notes which will earn them extra
grade points. She will also continue to develop Tegrity videos
for use in both Math 85 and Math 90.
Goal is to provide greater access to Human Services course
content through use of Angel. He has met with Jo Munroe
and Andy Duckworth on Jan.13th to begin a process of
converting some Human Services courses to an on line
format.
