This case study sought student feedback to determine how to use UDL as a means to improve our orientation for new students and increase flexibility and accessibility for our student cohort as a whole. The aim is not to have to retrofit but to design with accessibility in mind from the beginning. This case study demonstrates UDL Beyond the Classroom and also UDL in Teaching and Learning.

| Abstract | This case study sought student feedback to determine how to use UDL as a means to improve our orientation for new students and increase flexibility and accessibility for our student cohort as a whole. The Diploma/Bachelor of Business Studies Part-Time is aimed at students who wish to continue working while studying and had been delivered over 6 weekends each academic year. The programme changed its delivery format to include less face-to-face delivery and more online content as well as a phased orientation process to give students increased opportunities to engage with us and with the programme before the academic term commenced. Initial findings suggest that the latest cohort of students finds the changes have increased accessibility of the programme. | |
