Describe the relationship between the concept of universal design for learning (UDL) and the pros and cons of using available technology in an effort to allow people with disabilities to function more like those without disabilities
What will be an ideal response?
The concept of UDL often involves the development of new technologies to make learning accessible to more students. Inventors and designers try to account for every potential use and problem, but at some point the technology has to be developed and marketed, and it may not, in fact, be useful to some groups of people. There is a danger in taking the term "universal" too literally: technology and new techniques will still need to be individualized or "customized" for some people. Sometimes technology imposes new limitations on people with disabilities: it may allow them to go into new areas (physical or mental) without supports that may be needed. It results in controversial issues
