Abstract
Creating an inclusive and accessible learning environment for all learners helps ensure the educational benefits can be enjoyed by the largest population possible. The theory of learning styles was developed as a response to the belief that learners respond better to educational stimulus that serves to their unique strengths. Learning styles cater to the strengths of each learner, whereas Universal Course Design accommodates all learners' needs. When used together, this symbiotic relationship can benefit learners in several ways. The implications of learning styles on Universal Course Design should be investigated to best determine its validity and usefulness in the classroom.
