Editor's Notes
- #3: The 3 UDL Principles address the 3 brain networks used for learning:Recognition Networks – the what of learning = Multiple Means of RepresentationStrategic Networks – the how of learning = Multiple Means of Action & ExpressionAffective Networks – the why of learning = Multiple Means of Engagement
