Motive • using IT in support of modern student-centered teaching and learning to: • give students better knowledge about real world problems; • introduce them to collaborative work with different kind of professionals; • give students more flexibility regarding time and place of learning; • make study of civil engineering more interesting and attractive; • decrease percentage of students dropping the study of civil engineering.
Problems • Traditional instructor centered lecturing is outdated; • It does not encourage students’ creativity and does not give them knowledge about real-life problems; • Distinction between the first two (traditional way) and last two years of study (project and problem oriented, team work, real-life problems) • Experience based knowledge is as important as the traditionally structured knowledge (based on feelings, descriptive and difficult to present traditionally)
Ways • problem-based teaching • project-based teaching • team work • "real-life" problems • distance learning (flexibility regarding time and place of learning ) • presentation of experience-based knowledge
IT tools • multimedia • interactive CD-ROM • Internet • databases • e-mail • video-conferencing
Case study A:A trial course "IT supported structural engineering" http://ucilnica.fgg.uni-lj.si/sola/rpk/0001/ss Ways Tools • problem-based teaching • project-based teaching • team work • "real-life" problems • distance learning (flexibility regarding time and place of learning ) • presentation of experience-based knowledge • multimedia • interactive CD-ROM • Internet • databases • e-mail • video-conferencing
Organization of work • Architect proposed basic geometry of buildings based on the project requests • Structural engineer proposed several basic structural solutions • Structural engineer and architect negotiated and chose the optimal solution through collaborative work • Both made the detailed analysis from different perspectives • Together, they prepared the presentation of the project.
Case study B: A tool to communicate empirically based knowledge in earthquake engineering http://www.ikpir.fgg.uni-lj.si/easy/ Ways Tools • problem-based teaching • project-based teaching • team work • "real-life" problems • distance learning (flexibility regarding time and place of learning ) • presentation of experience-based knowledge • multimedia • interactive CD-ROM • Internet • databases • e-mail • video-conferencing
