Peer Response #5

Hi Larissa, I really enjoyed your post it’s such a strong example of how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and inclusive design can transform science education. I like how you connected theory to microbiology practice, especially your examples showing multiple means of representation and engagement through case studies and visuals. Your table on learner variability stood out it really highlights that inclusion isn’t about lowering expectations but offering different routes to success. I also appreciated your reflection on motivation and constructive alignment; tying relevance and autonomy to deeper learning made your post relatable. One idea that could build on your points is exploring how peer collaboration in labs or simulations might further support diverse learners. Overall, your writing clearly shows how intentional design fosters both equity and curiosity in microbiology.
