Faculty Choose a Design Approach

Design Approaches

There are several ways instructors can begin posting content to a course site. Various needs may determine the approach: whether or not instructors used CCLE/Moodle previously and must reorganize that content; how much time instructors have to dedicate to course creation before teaching in Bruin Learn for the upcoming term, or the extent to which instructors want to use an online course management system to meet student needs or expectations.

Here are three common scenarios and recommendations for each to begin adding content:

  1. Instructors who previously used CCLE/Moodle can use Migrated Courses
  2. Instructors with their design approach in mind can Add & Organize Content
  3. Instructors who prefer guidelines to get started can use Bruin Learn Course Templates
