After doing some research into DI (Differentiated Instruction), a reference in ISTE pointed to a site called CAST Universal Design for learning. This is an interesting site - it is supposed to be brain research-based but I am not quite sure of all its implications - on the surface it looks promising. Take a gander, they say:

• Multiple means of representation, to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge,


• Multiple means of expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know,


• Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.
