UCLA Library

This presentation considers the historical Chinese precedent of shū huà (classical 書畫; simplified 書画) “text/image” to describe and explain an innovative instructional design concept using the new UCLA learning management system Bruin Learn. The scholar-official social class or “literati” communicated in calligraphic image and text hybrids of ink on paper. Chien-Ling Liu Zeleny (history of science and medicine) and I will demonstrate live UCLA curriculum comprised of image and text inscribed digitally in long-scrolling Canvas pages with embedded digital content and tools supported by the Digital Library Program. The approach allows for immediacy of perception and embodied knowledge production.
