The application of technology within the framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) represents a transformative approach to educational practices, aimed at accommodating the diverse needs of all learners. This chapter explores how various technologies can be integrated into the three core principles of UDL—multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement—to enhance educational accessibility and effectiveness. Technology enables educators to present content in diverse formats, offering students alternative avenues for understanding and interacting with learning materials. Key technological tools such as digital texts, multimedia resources, adaptive learning environments, and assistive technologies are examined to demonstrate their impact on making education more inclusive. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the role of interactive platforms, gamification, and personalized learning systems in increasing student motivation and engagement. This chapter also highlights successful implementations of technology in UDL and proposes recommendations for educators seeking to leverage technology to fulfil the promise of UDL. By effectively integrating these technological tools, educators can create more flexible and accessible learning environments that accommodate the variability of learners and foster educational success for all.
