Abstract

In this study, universal design for learning (UDL) frameworks enhanced with technology were introduced in programming courses, with the aim of constructing a learning environment that considers the diversity of learners in higher education. The curriculum was designed with options that encourage self-selection of learning formats and resources (e.g., face-to-face and online; teachers, peers, and web contents). Analysis of learning logs in the learning management system and course-evaluation questionnaires revealed that students generally learned well based on their self-selection in accordance with their various characteristics and needs. Several students positively evaluated the flexibility of the course design. In addition, the students’ behavior and attitudes made the instructor aware of the potential needs of the learners. These results suggest that the introduction of UDL with technology in programming course is helpful in creating an inclusive and autonomous learning environment with promoting the teacher’ s perception about diversity of learners.
