Description
Summary:The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are recommendations that aim to guarantee access to content for all students. The UDL establishes principles for the development and pedagogical use of educational resources that respect individual differences in the way of learning. However, teachers generally have difficulties to find or adapt educational resources to suit all students. A domain ontology in UDL is a suitable tool to help in identifying the necessary adaptations that must be made in educational resources to satisfy all students. This thesis presents, based on a systematic bibliographic investigation on accessible education ontologies, the design of UDLOntology, an ontology in the domain of UDL. The UDLOntology is developed in OWL, using the Protégéeditor, and its usefulness is described to infer the educational resources that are best adapted to specific learning skills, according to the UDL recommendations.
