Ray Kurzweil has designed a free screenreader with text-to-speech, tracking, highlighting, note-taking and lots of books for free or purchase. I am investigating whether it's possible to convert .pdfs and .doc files into the format it uses. PRCVI is investigating this reader as an alternative for students who don't have Kurzweil.

UDL booklet is available for download from the SET-BC website. I've ordered 1500 print copies and 25 will be sent to every school that participated in the BC UDL project. The booklet has a short intro to UDL, links to resources, and essays about the impact of 6 "big ideas" in UDL from teachers involved in the project.
