Migrated Courses Overview

Faculty Migrated Courses

Review Migrated Content

Courses taught in CCLE/Moodle between Spring 2019 and Spring 2022 were copied into Bruin Learn. Due to the differences between the two systems, the migrated CCLE content is structured differently in Bruin Learn.

This guide shows faculty how to:

Locate migrated courses
Review and edit content with checklists
Manage content not imported as expected
Publish material

Students cannot see unpublished courses. Faculty must review, copy, and publish the migrated content to another academic course shell that syncs with UCLA's Registrar's Office. The migrated course is not the course faculty will publish and teach.

Where are the migrated courses?

Migrated courses appear in the Unpublished Courses section of the Dashboard. A course card represents each course. If you do not see your migrated courses in the Dashboard, click on Courses, then All courses.

unpublished course example

The migrated course will have a title like 21S-MATH33A-1 (quarter last offered-course number-section).

How can I retrieve CCLE content that was not migrated to Bruin Learn?

Courses that have not been copied into Bruin Learn have been archived. To request archived content for any course taught prior to Spring 2019, please complete the Bruin Learn – CCLE Archive Request Links to an external site..

Please note the request form can only be accessed by current UCLA affiliates. For past UCLA affiliates, please email your request to bruinlearn-support@it.ucla.edu.

How is course content organized?

Files

If your CCLE site contained files, look under Files on the Course Navigation. This is where your files will be migrated.

Modules

One significant difference you will notice is content organization. CCLE structures content commonly by weeks, while Bruin Learn organizes content by modules. Modules allow instructors to manage content by weeks or units to create a linear flow of what students should do in a course. Each module can contain files, discussions, assignments, quizzes, and other learning materials.

Course Template

Courses migrated from CCLE will have a UCLA branded template design. The template provides faculty, instructional designers, and other course creators a design framework to not start from scratch when designing a course.

Course templates establish simplified, consistent online experiences for students. Find more information on templates in the Faculty module of this course: Bruin Learn Course Templates.

How do I review and edit migrated content?

Within each migrated course is a module with instructor checklists. To find these checklists:

Navigate to your Dashboard.
From the Unpublished Courses section, click on the course card to open the course, which takes you to the Course Home page.
Scroll down the course navigation menu and click on Modules.
Locate the Instructor Resources Module, which contains checklists to walk you through the import.
Use the checklists to review the course materials.

I do not see the course content I was expecting.

There are CCLE activities that do not directly correlate with Bruin Learn. These activities were either not migrated or recreated using a Bruin Learn tool.

Email bruinlearn-support@it.ucla.edu to open a ticket with the support team for assistance in these situations.

Import Content to a UCLA Course

Faculty must review, copy, and publish the migrated content to another academic course shell that syncs with UCLA's Registrar's Office. When the academic course shell becomes available in Bruin Learn, faculty must import content into it and publish it for student access.

Import a Course

From the Dashboard, select the course to which you will import content.
On the right side of the screen, click on the Import Existing Content link.
From the Content Type drop-down list, select Copy a Canvas Course.
Type the course title in the Search for a course field, and select the course from the automatic list that will appear.
Select whether you would like to copy the course with All content or Select specific content to copy.
Note that you also have the option to Adjust events and Due dates.
Click the Import button.

Publish a Course

Faculty must publish a course for it to be visible to students. Before publishing course materials, complete the Readiness & Course Checklists to verify course settings and privacy considerations.
