Evaluating the experience of developing and using building construction E-courses in architectural education

Abstract EN

Despite its relative spread recently, e-learning applications are as yet limited in architectural education, and few experiences about this topic have been documented.

This study attempts to participate in filling this gap and in revealing the impact of e-learning on architectural education by evaluating an experience of developing and using building construction e-courses.

The research applied an analytical methodology, and it has been divided into four parts.

The first part reviews the theoretical background related to e-learning, the second part analyzes the standards and qualities of e-learning and e-courses, the third part documents the case study which comprises two building construction e-courses, and finally, the fourth part presents a comprehensive evaluation of the experience and demonstrates a SWOT analysis for its positives and negatives
