Reading about the universal design for learning framework was initially a bit overwhelming but, in the end, helpful. Like Fiona, I wondered how educational institutes would find time to apply these guidelines. However, I found the video interviews helpful. I was motivated by others' stories.

Making a few changes at a time, instead of everything all at once, can be a way to overcome feeling overwhelmed.
