At the intersection of stakeholder perspectives: facilitating a faculty and student dialogue on UDL priorities 

There is growing interest for UDL as a framework for the inclusion of diverse learners in the tertiary sector.  Even when UDL is embraced and integrated on a campus, however, it quickly becomes evident that there can be many different and divergent areas of teaching and learning where UDL can be implemented and support change.  There are so many possible avenues of transformation that it can become almost daunting for practitioners.  This project examines the way a student-faculty dialogue can be created to identify where consensus might exist between these two groups of stakeholders as to what should take priority when it comes to the redesign of campus and classroom practices.   It showcases the outcomes of a qualitative research process which took part on a Canadian campus, that brought together these two stakeholder groups to create authentic dialogue on inclusive pedagogical transformation.
