Curriculum Storyboards with Maureen Ruby and Kimberly Hellerich
In today’s conversation, we discuss what curriculum storyboards are and the problem of practice that they solve for novice learners in a discipline or course, how UDL connects to them and how neuroscience underpins these storyboards. You’ll also find several visual references in the resources for this episode and how you can do this yourself!

Your UDL Network Will Change the System with Matt Brett
Welcome to Ep 167 of the Think UDL Podcast: Your UDL Network Will Change the System with Matt Brett. In this episode, Dr. Matt Brett and I discuss how leadership in UDL often shows up through organizational knowledge flows rather than through formal authority. Instead of thinking about leadership as something executives hold, we talk about how influence moves through relationships, conversations, and shared problem‑solving. In the episode, we explore how networks, conferences, hybrid participation, mentoring, and even storytelling help people advance UDL from wherever they sit in an institution. It’s a very human, very practical look at how ideas spread.
We also get into the realities that shape that influence — the institutional context you’re working in, the power dynamics that can either open doors or close them, and the ways gender bias can affect whose leadership is recognized. The conversation is really about how UDL change happens through people connecting with other people, and how being intentional about those connections can shift an entire system.

Choose Your Own Biology Assessment with Mike Widjaja and Osu Lilje
In today’s conversation, we discuss how Mike and Osu updated an entry level biology assignment in a large enrollment course to offer students choice and flexibility in topics and delivery. And when they presented this topic at ADCET’s UDL Symposium (which I highly, highly recommend), during the actual session they offered to the group if their work should be presented as a podcast or poster or in some other fashion and then did exactly what the group wanted. It was an excellent way to demonstrate how engaged participants can be when given ownership of a task. You’ll learn quite a few ways to make your assessments better and how to improve group work from this conversation.
