About

buX is Brac University’s online learning platform. All online courses are housed on buX. This includes lecture videos, documents, discussion boards and assignments. Students will access their courses through buX and all faculty will post their course materials on buX. Online learning is not meant to substitute for in class learning. But, in the period when physical classes are not possible, buX will try to give as close to a live-class experience as possible. Student discussions on buX will occur through discussion boards, interactive assignments and online office hours. The main philosophy of buX is to enable students to learn wherever they are, whatever their internet connectivity is, and to make learning interactive and lively.

VC's Message

At Brac University, our goal is to make learning as student-centric as possible. We consider our online teaching and learning platform, buX, a core university capability that will enrich your learning. We model buX after edX used by both MIT and Harvard. It enables you to watch lectures offline, stay engaged with your courses, and have quality assessments that take into account variations in internet connectivity. Even when in-person classes resume, online learning will remain a core part of Brac University education. I now ask you for your patience in enduring the initial possible glitches of the new system. I assure you that buX will stay and continue improving. I believe that you will find that buX will make your learning experience rewarding.
