UDL is a complicated way to teach. It involves giving multiple representations of the same information to students which they then choose from. Students also choose to work collaboratively or individually. And they decide how to demonstrate their learning through written work, a video, a poster or some other means.

UDL as a form of classroom differentiation. Differentiation – the process of giving different students in the same classroom different forms of instruction

a new paper by Dr. Guy A. Boysen of McKendree University in the U.S. Boysen claims that this lack of evidence is one of the five ways in which UDL parallels debunked learning styles theories.

Learning styles theories are still remarkably popular despite most serious researchers classing them as a ‘neuromyth’.
