What is UDL?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing teaching and assessment so that all students can access, engage with, and demonstrate their learning — regardless of their background, abilities, or learning preferences.

Developed by CAST, the UDL Guidelines 3.0 organise good practice across three principles: providing multiple means of Representation (how content is presented), Engagement (how students are motivated and supported), and Action & Expression (how students demonstrate what they know).

Assessment 2030

Assessment 2030 (A2030) is Curtin University's initiative to redesign assessment practice for a changing world. It introduces a two-lane structure: Lane 1 (Secure) assessments like invigilated exams and interactive orals, and Lane 2 (Non-secure) assessments like portfolios, field journals, and written reports. UDL Lens uses this structure to focus the audit on the checkpoints most relevant to each assessment type.

How UDL Lens works

1. 1

   Add your assessments

   Describe each assessment in your unit — name, type, and A2030 lane. Optionally upload the assignment brief (PDF or DOCX) so the AI has full context.

2. 2

   Review AI-assisted checkpoint ratings

   Claude reads your brief and pre-fills a UDL rating (Not yet / Partially / Met) for each relevant checkpoint, with a brief explanation. You verify each rating and can override it. The goal is to reduce blank-slate fatigue while keeping you in control — and ensuring you engage with what each checkpoint actually means.

3. 3

   Get your results

   See a radar chart across six UDL dimensions, a breakdown by checkpoint, and concrete quick wins and longer-term suggestions. Download a PDF report suitable for a teaching support conversation or professional development evidence.
