Hello fellow educators. I’m so happy to be back for Season 7! I’m kicking off the season with a tool that my team loved during summer PD. This week, we’re talking about Ludia. Ludia is an AI chatbot that makes Universal Design for Learning (UDL) a breeze!

As a part of my show, I am now giving you five reasons why I like a tool as a part of every episode, so here are my top five on Ludia.

Five Reasons I Like Ludia

  3. UDL Guidelines Pro: The outputs align perfectly with what we know and love
  4. Barrier Buster: Ludia identifies obstacles and offers creative solutions
  5. Idea Generator: I love how it offers more options or responses when you need it to dig deeper
