Welcome to Lesson 3: Using AI to Support Diverse and Inclusive Learners with UDL

In this lesson, you will explore how AI technologies can be applied through the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to create more inclusive learning environments in higher education. Building on the principles of Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression, the lesson highlights practical ways AI can support diverse learners.

You will learn how AI tools can:

• increase engagement by supporting motivation, collaboration, and active participation,
• enhance representation by providing multiple ways of accessing and understanding content, and
• expand action & expression by offering students varied ways to demonstrate their knowledge and receive feedback.

Drawing on real-world examples from the AI-ENABLE project, this lesson focuses on concrete strategies for using AI to meet the needs of diverse learners. Whether you are just starting to integrate AI into your teaching or seeking to strengthen your inclusive practices, you will gain insights and tools to make higher education more equitable, flexible, and effective for all students.
