Translations between English and Spanish.In addition, a toolbar contributed by Texthelp offered: “Build-your-own” activities to understand the authors’ craft.Animated coaches providing hints and support.In-context explanations of idioms and literary devices.To incorporate UDL, readers chose their text and level of support desired: minimal, moderate, or maximum, and accessed multimedia resources for background information and enrichment activities for further learning. The tool reached a target audience of users 10 years of age or older. Six of the texts could be viewed in English, and one in Spanish. UDL Editions brought seven classic texts into a scaffolded digital reading environment with flexible supports for three facets of learning: understanding content, building skills, and having fun. Because of their flexibility and malleability, digital technologies - especially web-based tools - dramatically expand options for providing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) supports as compared with exclusively print-based media.Ĭreated in partnership with the Google Literacy Project and Carnegie Corporation of New York to celebrate World Book Day in 2008, CAST launched UDL Editions of classic public domain texts, including a short story, sonnet, speech, and more, from world literature to demonstrate the power of technology to transform texts in a way that responds to the needs of all kinds of learners.
