Overview of the UDL Reporting Criteria
This two-part session will introduce the UDL Reporting Criteria (UDL RC), developed by the
UDL-IRN Research Committee workgroup in 2017-2018, and describe how they can be used to
design, implement, and evaluate UDL-based practices and studies. We will describe the
development and purpose of the UDL RC and present the results of a pilot study applying the
UDL RCs to existing literature. This session will highlight how the UDL RC can be used by
researchers, practitioners, journal reviewers and editors. Participants will be invited to provide
feedback on the RCs for consideration by the UDL-IRN Research Committee.

Evaluating the UDL RC with existing K-12 literature
​In the second part of this session, we will present the results of a pilot study undertaken to
apply and evaluate the criteria. A team of researchers applied the criteria to a set of existing
studies and discussed how they defined each element. We sought to evaluate the usability of
the RC by applying them to published studies of UDL in order to develop a shared
understanding and interpretation of the criteria. We will present results from this pilot study
and discuss implications for users of the UDL RCs. We will highlight key issues of definition
and interpretation when criteria are used in practice. We will also discuss implications of the
RC for practitioners, researchers, and editors who use the UDL RCs.
