Accessibility refers to the ability of a device, product, service, or environment to be usable by as many people as possible. This is an important aspect of Universal Design for Learning and they often go hand in hand. UDL, in the context we use, refers to the process of making learning effective and usable for all and can extend beyond accessibility to addressing learner preferences, styles, and methods of instruction that meet students’ needs. Often accessibility is considered when integrating technology into the learning environment. Universal Design involves the usability of that technology and extends to how the technology is integrated into the learning plan, along with the other elements of the course. http://u.osu.edu/universaldesign/udl-essentials/
