Making these principles more memorable<\/h2>\r\nIt may be helpful for some to think about these three principles visually or dynamically. For example,\u00a0multiple means of engagement<\/i>\u00a0could be imagined as an assortment of different hands reaching out to invite the student into the content.\u00a0Multiple means of representation<\/i>\u00a0could be depicted as a dynamic collage of images, shapes, colours, and\/or sounds, which shift into different patterns and forms. And\u00a0multiple means of action and expression<\/i> could be embodied by a busy art or music studio, with each participant working in a different medium to express a common theme: paint, clay, theatre, vocals, instruments, and so on.\r\n

Match the correct UDL principles with their descriptions<\/h2>\r\nThe distinctions among the three UDL principles can seem subtle at first. Take a moment to see if you can match these principles to brief descriptions of each, by dragging and dropping the words below all three descriptions into the correct spots. If you need to, refer back to the explanations of these principles, presented above.\r\n\r\n[h5p id=\"3\"]\r\n\r\n ","rendered":"
