LUDIA was created as a new kind of entry point and scaff old for developing a Universal Design for Learning mindset, intentionally designing to reduce learning barriers, and discovering the power of Artificial Intelligence.

The name “LUDIA” is a remix of the acronyms AI and UDL. Ludia means “play” in Greek. LUDIA (they/them) is non-binary; reimagining, not reinforcing, gender assumptions in the “AI helper” context. LUDIA was created by Beth Stark, UDL Expert and Inclusionary Practices Strategist for International Schools, and Jérémie Rostan, High School Curriculum and Instruction Coordinator at International School of Panama, and author of the E-Book, “AI-Powered UDL Strategies”.

Beth has sixteen years of IB international school experience and holds a Master’s Degree in Special Education.
