Declaration of Dr. James Basham
I, Dr. James Basham, declare as follows under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746:
Background
1. Iam currently a Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of
Kansas. This Department has been consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of
the top special education programs in the country.
2. [also serve as the Senior Director for Learning and Innovation at the Center for Applied
Special Technology, a Boston-based research and development non-profit that created the
Universal Design for Learning (“UDL”) framework. This framework seeks to improve and
optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn.
These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or
domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning
opportunities.
3. Iam one of the co-founders of the UDL Implementation and Research Network (“UDL-
IRN’), a global network of educators, education leaders, researchers, and industry leaders
focused on supporting the design of UDL based learning environments.
4. My work focuses on developing learning environments that are equitable, beneficial, and
meaningful for all learners. My research addresses the implementation of UDL, STEM
education, learner-centered design, innovation, and technology in human learning.
5. My current research includes an interdisciplinary investigation of instructional design and
technology use throughout PK-20 learning environments as it relates to learning and instruction
of all students, with a particular focus on students with disabilities.
6. I amcurrently a principal investigator on a number of federally and privately funded
research and technical assistance projects, including the Center for Innovation, Design, and
Digital Learning which is serving as the National Center to Improve Faculty Capacity to Use
Educational Technology in Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services
Personnel Preparation and Leadership Personnel Preparation Programs.
7. From 2012-2017, I served as co-principal investigator of the Center on Online Learning
and Students with Disabilities, which conducted research on how K-12 online learning impacts
the access, participation, and progress of students with disabilities. The Center was a partnership
involving the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, the Center for Applied
Special Technology, and the National Association of State Directors of Special Education and
was funded through the U.S. Department of Education; Office of Special Education Programs.
8. Ihave served as an expert consultant for school districts, universities, national education
agencies, foundations, and corporate entities.
9. Ihave authored over 100 scholarly publications, including:
=
“Equity matters: Digital & Online Learning for Students with Disabilities.”
b. “Designing Online Learning Opportunities for Students with Disabilities.”
c. “Integrating Research-Based Practices and Mobile Technology to Support
Students with Executive Functioning Challenges in Postsecondary STEM.”
d. “Reviewing research on mobile learning in k-12 educational settings: Implications
for students with disabilities.”
e. “Emerging state policy in online special education.”
f. “The emerging field of online special education.”
g. “Case in point: A statewide blended learning initiative for students with
disabilities: What makes it work? A director's perspective.”
h. “Preparing special education teachers for online learning: findings from a survey
of teacher educators.”
i. “FAPE and LRE in online learning: Special education directors’ perspectives.”
j. “Practitioners’ perceptions of their knowledge, skills, competencies in online
teaching of students with and without disabilities.”
k. “Computer-mediated collaboration: Using the web to contextualize
representational issues in general and special education practice.”
1. “Opportunities in Crisis: The Role of Universal Design for Learning in
Educational Redesign.”
10. I have given hundreds of presentations on my areas of research, including, most recently,
“Remote Learning for Students with Learning Differences” at the Stanford Graduate School of
Education and, as a keynote, “Considering the Design of Online Learning for Students with
Disabilities” at the National Council for Special Education of Ireland.
11. I regularly teach students in the University of Kansas School of Education, including
courses on “Conceptual Issues in Special Education” and “Understanding, Analysis, and
Sustainable Implementation of Instructional Design and Technology for Diverse Learners.”
12. Ireceived my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Special Education from the
University of Urbana-Champaign in 2005.
13. Prior to joining the University of Kansas in 2011, I served as an Assistant Professor at the
University of Cincinnati (2006-2011) and Eastern Illinois University (2005-2006).
14. Prior to beginning my Ph.D., I worked as a special education teacher in a number of
public school districts from 1994-1999 (including two years as a homebound instructor for
students with disabilities).
15. My CV is attached as Exhibit A.
16. Iam not being compensated for my time reviewing materials and preparing this report.
Online Learning for Students with Disabilities
17. Few online learning management systems are specifically designed to support the needs
of students with disabilities, particularly those with sensory or intellectual disabilities.
18. Many students with disabilities require intensive individualized supports to be successful
in school. Full time online instruction is detrimental for students with disabilities where
individualized supports are not built around the individual student’s needs. Virtual learning
environments can make providing these supports significantly more difficult than what can be
provided via in-person instruction.
19. Online learning environments are far more complex to navigate than face-to-face
environments for students with disabilities and those who support them. Online learning
environments rely on learning interaction to be successful. While learner interactions in face-to-
face classroom settings can be observed and supported by educators, peers, or other support
personnel, these interactions are hidden in online learning environments between the learner and
computer, making the provision of meaningful supports more challenging.
20. Current online learning environments do not have the necessary artificial intelligence to
support any student, especially students with disabilities, in goal attainment; thus, require a great
deal of learner-interaction. Students with disabilities—especially those students with intellectual
and developmental disabilities, significant learning disabilities, and/or social-emotional
behavioral disabilities—often lack the necessary skills to independently demonstrate success in
these settings.
21. Successful online education requires much more parent participation and interaction than
face-to-face education settings. Not all parents have the time or necessary expertise to
successfully support students with disabilities in these settings. Without these supports, students
with disabilities will likely fail to be successful in school and be unable to meet their educational
goals and progress from year to year.
22. Educators require different knowledge and skills to teach in online learning environments
than in face-to-face settings. However, as found in a 2016 national survey conducted by the
Center on Online Learning and Students with Disabilities, none of the special education teacher
education programs in the sample required online teaching knowledge and skills within their
curriculum. Thus, special education teachers rarely have the necessary skills to teach in these
settings.
23. Overall, online education, especially full-time online or virtual education for students
with disabilities, has a great deal of unresolved issues. Given these complexities, full-time online
education should never be considered as the only placement option for students with disabilities,
as this would not be expected to provide these students with the same level of educational goal
attainment that they would receive via well-designed face-to-face instruction.
I swear under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing
is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
Dated this 26" day of September, 2021 in Lawrence, Kansas.

Develop and pilot test a decision support system (DSS) to facilitate solutions to
problems that arise when implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)
model in elementary (K–5th grade) schools. Funded by Institute of Educational Science
(IES).
Learning Designed (learningdesigned.org) (PI) 2017-Current
Learning Designed is a field-based platform that supports field growth, networking, and
data collection across the globe in the implementation of UDL and other innovative,
equity focused practices. Funded through Private Foundations.
Teen Career Pathway (TCP I & TCP II) (Research PI) 2015-2019
Two continuous projects in partnership with The Social to develop and study a series of
video games/simulations that support STEM career exposure and planning. The
investigation studies usability and efficacy through a unique backend of learning
analytic data system. Funded by National Science Foundation (NSF).
UDL Credentialing and Certification Initiative (Co-PI; now PI) 2014- 2017
A partnership between CAST and the UDL-IRN to develop the UDL Council with the end
goal of using the LEED process to align practice with a series of field-based stackable
micro-credentials and certifications for supporting the practice of UDL. Funded through
Private Foundations and U.S. Dept of Education.
Stepping Up: Sustainable Implementation of Innovations for Student Achievement (SIISA) 2013-2017
(Co-PI)
Funded through OSEP, SIISA is investigating the design of a writing support assessment
tool as well as existing digital writing supports tool to increase writing competencies for
all students, especially students with disabilities. Within this project we are
collaborating with Don Johnston, Inc. to design a new school-wide digital assessment
tool to identify strengthens, weaknesses, as well as potential strategies and tools for
supporting writing outcomes directly aligned with common core and other K-12 writing
standards. Funded through U.S. Dept of Education; Office of Special Education
Programs.
Center on Online Learning and Students with Disabilities (Co-PI) 2012-2017
Funded through OSEP, the Center on Online Learning and Students with Disabilities
conducts research on how K-12 online learning impacts the access, participation, and
progress of students with disabilities. Research outcomes are expected to inform the
design, selection, and implementation of online digital curriculum materials, the
systems that deliver and support them, and the instructional practices associated with
their use, in order to increase their efficacy for students with disabilities and other
elementary and secondary learners. The Center is a partnership involving the University
of Kansas Center for Research on Learning (KUCRL), the Center for Applied Special
Technology (CAST), and the National Association of State Directors of Special Education
(NASDSE). Funded through U.S. Dept of Education; Office of Special Education
Programs.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Measurement Tool (PI) 2009-Current
A synergistic activity, working with colleagues from two other university pies and state
leadership from two states to develop an instrument that measures the level of UDL
implementation within an instructional experience. Unfunded.
