Universal Design for Learning: application potential in higher education to students with special educational needs using mobile technology. Educ. Form. Tecnol. [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.1, pp.84-94.

With this article we intend to lengthen the understanding of Mobile Learning based on potential of Universal Design for Learning principles in order to promote higher education students with special educational needs interaction, inclusion and accessibility. Thus, it was made an extended research based on Literature Review and articles focusing Universal Design, Universal Design for Learning and Mobile Learning issues, being selected and analyzed four relevant articles. From the analysis and data crossing, we concluded that there are several mobile technologies capable of answering individual needs and abilities and that Mobile Learning presents potential as a strategy to implement Universal Design for Learning principles. However, as unique environment for learning it doesn't seem to be an ideal solution for these students.

Keywords : Mobile Learning; Special Educational Needs; Universal Design; Universal Design for Learning.
