Publication Name: Cases on Digital Technologies in Higher Education Issues and Challenges
Publication Date: 2010-12-01
Volume: Unknown
Issue: Unknown
Page Range: 191-201
Description:
It is the aim of this case to show the teaching web portal of the Faculty of Architecture at "Széchenyi István" University (www.arc.sze.hu/indexen.html) and its many uses. Nowadays, the Internet helps us to look into Hungarian and foreign study aids, and architectural websites. The Internet has created potential new and effective ways of cooperation between lecturers and students of the university and other institutions of higher education. The teaching web portal mentioned above realizes diversity and complexity of architecture, with efficient grouping of information, while being attentive to high professional standards. Computer Aided Architectural Modeling (www.arc.sze.hu/cad) is one of the new types of online lecture notes, where many narrated screen captured videos show the proper usage of cad software instead of texts and figures. This interactive type of learning assists students to become more independent learners. This type of teaching modality provides the opportunity for students who need more time to acquire subject matter through viewing video examples. The success of our departments' common web initiations can be measured through Internet statistics and feedback of the students and external professionals. © 2010, IGI Global.
