Snorkl supports educators in implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) practices by promoting accessibility, student engagement, and multiple ways to demonstrate understanding.
The UDL Guidelines help educators address the diversity in learning through Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression.
Engagement (The “Why” of Learning)
Snorkl motivates and sustains effort by creating meaningful opportunities for student voice and reflection:
Celebrates success — Each piece of AI feedback starts with what the student did well, building confidence and persistence.
Encourages revision — Students can immediately apply feedback, respond again, and improve — fostering a growth mindset.
Supports self-regulation — Students see their progress and can monitor their own improvement through clear, actionable feedback.
Representation (The “What” of Learning)
Snorkl ensures access to information and understanding for all learners by providing multiple ways to perceive and process content:
Multilingual accessibility — Snorkl can translate prompts, captions, and feedback into the student’s selected language.
Read-aloud features — Text and feedback can be read aloud to support diverse learners.
Visual representation — Students and teachers can upload or draw diagrams, manipulate visuals, and utilize the multimodal input of the whiteboard.
Action & Expression (The “How” of Learning)
Snorkl allows students to communicate understanding in multiple, flexible ways:
Multimodal responses — Students can speak, draw, or type to show their thinking.
Manipulatives — Teachers can make whiteboard objects moveable for interactive, hands-on learning experiences.
Voice, video, and text — Teachers and peers can leave feedback in multiple formats to deepen communication.
✨ Overall
Snorkl opens access for all learners by offering multimodal input and output, adaptive language supports, and iterative feedback that values the process of learning — not just the final answer.
💡 Tip: Snorkl aligns naturally with UDL by giving all students multiple ways to engage, represent, and express their understanding — empowering teachers to design more inclusive learning experiences.
