Using Digital Simulation as an e-learning tool to create dynamic learning in Architecture students
Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective - E-learning has been an integrated teaching and learning approach in higher educational institutions and considered as a way forward in creating lifelong learners. In Architectural studies, where design is a major component, software's are vastly used as designing tools. Recent years saw an increasing awareness of green architecture, taking into account the sustainability where the absence of or efficient technology in a building playing a major role in creating sustainable architecture. In an attempt to enhance the design through technical module a traditional case study project has been converted into a simulation project to create a dynamic learning much needed by Architecture students. This paper examines the value of using simulation to study the effectiveness of shading device and its effect on student's learning. Methodology - The investigation is conducted by evaluating the learning outcome of architecture students in a private institute of higher education in Malaysia by using a questionnaire to collect data from a group of 30 volunteers from 105 architectural students whom have completed the module. Findings - Architecture Design Studio based learning in a Technical Study module, students were able to enhance their critical thinking skills based on the scientific approach. Overall, it allowed for the development of the student's discipline-specific knowledge, gaining new knowledge and skills to simulate using digital tool and enhance their analytical skills. Novelty – The paper emphasises the dynamic learning as an integrated approach to designing and an effective way to intensify lifelong learning by instilling e-learning methods as a way forward in teaching and learning architecture students.
