LUDIA was created as a new kind of entry point and scaffold for developing a Universal Design for Learning mindset, intentionally designing to reduce learning barriers, and discovering the power of Artificial Intelligence.
LUDIA does not just give strategies; they provide context specific and culturally relevant options for instructional design that take all three principles of UDL into account. LUDIA gives guidance about barriers that have not been considered and minimizes threats to unlearning that can lead to shifts in mindsets.
- Free, with no paywalls
- Understands and responds in multiple languages
- Assists everyone; from novices to advanced UDL practitioners
- Accessible through touch or voice typing
- No prompting skills are needed
One of the first chatbots that has actually addressed some cultural biases that we’ve been concerned about in other use cases! Well done!

Director of Learning Technology at Team4Tech
LUDIA makes UDL more accessible and manageable for teachers. LUDIA requires almost no training or investment, and teachers can instantly obtain targeted, UDL-aligned suggestions for strategies to improve learning for ALL of their students.

LUDIA is more than a great tool to empower one's teaching; LUDIA has the potential to put UDL power in the hands of families, community members, and educators to create an inclusive learning environment where possibilities thrive, and students excel.

Director of the UDL Center at OCALI
