The Metamorphosis
of Instructions
How Applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL)Principles
Turns Writing Assignment Instructions into Learning Tools
Poster Session @ cwonline | February 18, 2006
With all the advances digital technology brings to the writing
classroom, one aspect that receives little attention is the pedagogical
role of assignment directions beyond the writing prompt. This poster
session demonstrates how applying the principles of Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) offers a path to rethink the role and
function of writing assignment instructions.

Drawing on a case study of UDL enhanced directions of an
annotated bibliography assignment used in both a face-to-face
and a hybrid first-year writing course, this poster session
will demonstrate how the structure, design, and purpose of
the directions were reconfigured in terms of usability, flexibility,
and portability.
