Greetings from Vancouver, Canada!

My doctoral research is going to begin soon. Because the instance of higher education students in Canada, and elsewhere, has been on the rise for more than a decade, I am interested in exploring at the intersection of instructional design and supporting student mental health. Specifically, I want to determine whether there may be adaptations that can be made to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to mitigate stressors students may experience in the future at the time of pedagogical development and instructional design. To get a sense of how my work is beginning to materialize, please see:

Data Minding Their Minds - Evolution of a Research Methodology - RG.pdf

Does anyone know of work being done in this area? Please point me in interesting directions that might be worth some exploration.

Thank you very much!

Larry White
