The Metamorphosis
of an
Annotated Bibliography
Writing Assignment Instruction Sheet
This demonstration explores the metamorphosis of an annotated
bibliography writing assignment instruction sheet.
Stage 1 - Prompt Driven Instructions
Prompt Only Style of Instructions -
One of the most common forms of writing assignment instructions
is the prompt. This example is a one sentence prompt
explaining the annotated bibliography assignment.
The Narrative Style of Instructions -
A more descriptive form of assignment presentation is to
place the instructions in a narrative consisting of
several paragraphs explaining the assignment. In this format,
a minimal of design features--such as headers and bold font--are
used, but more information on the form and purpose of the
assignment is provided.

Stage 2 - Applying UDL Principles
The following three versions of the annotated bibliography
assignment demonstrate how one can apply UDL principles to
an assignment sheet to meet the needs of all students in
your course. Each version takes the application of UDL principles
a step further.
Version 1 -
Putting Print Online -
Version 1 applies some UDL principles to an online version
of a printed page. This
version of the annotated bibliography assignment
has more
robust instructions to present the full scope
of the assignment. It is designed using headers
and brief text. Links are provided for additional
resource material. The assignment's goals and objectives
are clearly articulated as well as the forms and
features for how to compile a bibliography and
compose an annotation. However, the instructions
do not take advantage of the full potential of
placing an assignment online.

Version 2 - Formatted for Enhanced Accessibility
of Content - This examples builds on the
previous one using more web functionality to make the
content more accessible.
|
|
| Version 3 - UDL Assignment -
Version 3 is no longer a print version placed
online, but a dynamic web page that embraces the
principles of UDL by making the assignment a tool
for learning for all students in the course.
