USING ONLINE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES IN A LEVEL 4 CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY UNIT

Verity Bird, Southampton Solent University, United Kingdom

With a wide range of students, many from non-traditional backgrounds, it is important both to establish good study habits and embed the understanding of construction principles that students will require to function effectively in a work environment. Our virtual learning environment can support a wide range of resources. Online electronic quizzes provide a means of reinforcing learning at regular intervals and the effects of engagement can be measured. The ability to produce videos of construction processes that can be accessed via the web gives us the opportunity to bring the building site into the classroom and site the classroom anywhere.
