The GAME plan for self-directed learning consists of setting goals, taking action to meet those goals, monitoring progress towards achieving goals and evaluating whether the goals were achieved and extend your learning to new situations.

Allow students choices in the media, tools, and context in which their learning will take place

To adhere to the intent of the UDL framework, how might you promote active learning in your classroom?
