How educators & learning coaches work together in Aula

Two educators at Coventry University explain how Aula’s Learning Design Coaches supported them in the rapid redesign of their modules.
“With Moodle, professors just uploaded course documents. Aula offers a more interactive experience that improves our ability to learn: it gave us more engaging ways of learning and connecting with professors.”

"I feel like my tutors are more accessible now, which gives me peace of mind. And anyone can post and respond to anybody else—it’s like commenting on Facebook. It brings the learning experience back to a normal community of people interacting."

Student, Interior Design
Environment Architectures

"Aula’s biggest benefit so far is its Community feed, which creates more interaction and discussions. The way my modules are set up gives opportunities every week for a student to post on the Community and get some feedback from me or their peers."

Jason Bennet

Assistant Professor

“With Aula, we’ve been able to transform the learning experience so quickly and smoothly that now we have all students and academics on the platform, delivering the kind of quality learning experience we just couldn’t scale with the VLE.”

FAQs

Common questions about Aula, and the team behind the platform.

Is Aula an LMS?

Like an LMS, Aula is primarily used to organize the digital materials and communications for a module or course.

While a typical LMS (Learning Management System) has a strong focus on storing materials and broadcasting messages to students, we believe the focus should be on creating positive, engaging learning experiences. That's why we refer to our tool as a Learning Experience Platform.

Is Aula backed by pedagogical research?

Aula was developed by learning designers working in close partnership with university educators. The platform is designed to facilitate learning experiences that are active, applied, and inclusive in line pedagogical best practices based on recent research.

We recommend reading our blog for more information on Aula's pedagogical approach.

Can Aula integrate with our other teaching tools?

Aula's LTI 1.3 capability means that Aula can set up to work with a variety of popular educational tools. Some integrations currently used by our partners include Big Blue Button, Engageli, BibliU, Leganto, Planet eStream, H5P, Talis, and more.
