In this paper, the authors aim to make the case that, rather than focusing on a small number of technology and resource-intensive active learning classes, educators and administrators should focus on universal access to “learningready classrooms” by focusing on universal design and accessibility across race, class, gender, ability, socioeconomic status, etc. The authors review relevant literature and evaluate a case study example of learning-ready universal design classrooms as part of the Classroom Readiness Committee (CRC) at San Francisco State University. The authors use existing literature and the case study example to make the argument that universally designed, learner-ready classrooms can be more widely offered and would be available to everyone, which competes with the notion that only privileged students would have access to technologically advanced learning classrooms. The 8 universal design goals are specified as: 1) Body fit, 2) Comfort, 3) Awareness, 4) Understanding, 5) Wellness, 6) Social Integration, 7) Personalization, and 8) Cultural appropriateness. 429 Publication type: Journal article Study type: Case study, theory development Age or developmental stage: University Students
