As a joint effort between the UCLA LMS Transformation project team and UCLA Online Teaching and Learning (OTL), we are taking an opportunity to showcase:

• sharing types of course design in the LMS platform, Bruin Learn and addressing pedagogical approaches and strategies,
• highlighting features of Bruin Learn to enhance teaching and learning in various courses and disciplines, and
• appreciating the faculty’s teaching and design efforts in the new platform

STAT 100A implemented various pedagogical strategies to increase the communication opportunities and engage students in Bruin Learn. It uses Discussion, Inbox, Announcements, Modules, and more in Bruin Learn to build a learning community for students from the very beginning.

• Use Announcements to inform students of course updates, topic-related events, and follow-up on class learning progress.
• Use Discussions to help students reflect on different topics for each week
• Use the Bruin Learn Inbox to keep communication within the course site
• Build a learning community using course reception to engage students from the beginning of their learning journey
• Distribute course lectures using interactive videos to have students interact with course content
