What does this really mean? ? ?

Principle 1: Provide Multiple Means of Representation Present the content in different ways • Provide transcripts or Closed Captioning options for videos • Use concept maps or other graphic organizers • Provide a glossary of key terms or embed support for vocabulary within the materials

Principle 1: Provide Multiple Means of Representation (continued) Present the content in different ways • Activate prior knowledge • Highlight patterns, key ideas, and relationships • Use mnemonic devices • Use multiple types of media

Online flash cards – instructor or student created
