"Harvard University's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, rooted in three decades of pioneering research, are the foundation of our enriched learning experience. These principles champion the creation of curricula that accommodate individual learning differences through multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement, ensuring all learners have equal opportunities to succeed. Drawing from extensive research in the learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, our approach leverages UDL to foster inclusive, adaptive educational environments that recognize and realize every student's unique potential."

This project, a vital part of Krishna Cart's Applied Learning Design coursework at Harvard University, Division of Continuing Education, aims to explore the integration of digital and multimodal texts – including games, songs, MTV-style videos, plays, podcasts, documentaries, movie segments, and video games – into the classrooms for students in grades 1 to 12. Our goal is to understand how these innovative learning tools can complement traditional teaching methods to enrich student learning and engagement.
