ISBN: 1844073300 ISBN-13: 9781844073306 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $104.50 Product Type: Paperback Published: September 2006 Annotation: Innovation in building design and construction is supported by a strong teaching and learning (T&L) platform. Issues such as increasing class sizes, loss of construction laboratory space, and the need for students to earn money while in full-time education can cause problems in student attendance and progression. New T&L strategies are required to cope successfully with a growing number of students and a changing student profile.This special issue of the Architectural Engineering and Design Management (AEDM) international journal covers key themes in this arena, including student-centered learning, practice-based learning, good practice and evaluation, and instructional systems design (ISD). Also included are contributions on e-pedagogy, standardization of e-learning and learning objects, e-learning to bridge the gap between industry and academia and Virtual Learning Environments.This special issue, written by international experts in the field, will be required reading for lecturers and students in the built environment, in particular university courses in engineering, architecture, and related topics, as well as all professionals interested in T&L, continuing professional development (CPD), and distance learning in the built environment sector. |

| Publisher Description: Innovation in building design and construction depends on innovative strategies being developed by teachers and practitioners, made available to students and then professionally adopted. Successful transfer of this knowledge relies on appropriate support for both students and academics to ensure the new knowledge is translated into a format appropriate to the learner's current state of understanding, often using a constructivist, student-centred learning approach. This special issue of the journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines new strategies to manage effectively a growing number of students and a changing student profile in the built environment sector. Written by international experts in the field, core themes covered include student-centred learning, practice-based learning, good practice and evaluation, and instructional systems design. Several papers are devoted to virtual learning, focusing on e-pedagogy, standardisation, bridging the gap between academia and industry, and virtual learning environments. This peer-reviewed publication will be invaluable reading for lecturers and students on architecture and civil engineering courses, professional architects and engineers, and all interested in T&L, continuing professional development and distance learning in the built environment sector. |
