Multiple options, flexibility, and choice are hallmarks of the program. I especially liked the references you made to the most important thing being an understanding of the process of how they came to understand. As a matter of fact, can learning take place without that realization? Well said. Multiple options, flexibility, and choice are hallmarks of the program.

As a school librarian (AKA Media Specialist), my job is to help people acquire and use materials to support the curriculum and enhance learning - regardless of the container, i.e. print in a book, print on a website, audio, video, images, music, and so on - whatever it takes to get the idea across to the learner. To me, UDL also means that the students can express their learning through whatever format is most appropriate to their learning and this expression must allow for choice on the part of the student, i.e. composing a rap, skit, dance, poem, video, essay, poster, PowerPoint, and so on. Most important to me is that the learner understands the process of How they came to understand, is able to think deeply about this process - realizing strengths and weaknesses - and will be able to apply these thinking skills to future situations.
