Bernadette Muir on ‘Design Jam’. On project-based learning
in architecture to assist students to complete authentic learning project with
vertical integration of the students from all 3 years of the Architecture
degree.
Revolves around the living building challenge – whereby
sustainable buildings are designed. Small one day event whereby students have
to find solutions based on relationships between the place, availability of
energy and water. Industry experts and people working in the sustainability
area were invited to support the student teams. Provided rationale, details and
feedback from students. Students appreciated the authenticity of the project
and the experience provided them with the opportunity to learn not only from
the experts and tutors, but from each other. Also important to follow up
beyond. Third year students now build a scale model of an exemplar contemporary
timber building and then present the feature as if they were the architect.
Students also visit recently constructed buildings in Christchurch to connect
theory to practice.
Cheryl Stokes on ‘To Kahoot or not to Kahoot’. Provided a
practitioner’s point of view and how she uses the app to engage students.
Cheryl has always used a series of apps to help students learn. Ran a Kahoot to
show examples. Provided rationale and learning advantages for using from both
tutor and student perspectives. Also detailed the various ways Kahoot used,
their advantages and disadvantages. Important to reinforce the learning that
has occurred while students use Kahoot. Important to help students become aware
of the learning potential of using Kahoot, so they are able to leverage off the
learning achieved.
