Using 3D modelling and dynamic thermal simulation software tools to facilitate student understanding of complex principles in 'passive' building design: an experiential learning approach (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Dowdle, D. (2003, September). Using 3D modelling and dynamic thermal simulation software tools to facilitate student understanding of complex principles in 'passive' building design: an experiential learning approach. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment, University of Salford

Students today are much more PC and IT literate than their counterparts of five or ten years ago. The huge increase in Internet usage, PC's in schools and interactive game play are surely a contributory factor in this. Students enjoy using IT, both d...

Student-centred learning: the keystone of construction education? (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Dowdle, D., Murray, P., & Parker, M. (2003, April). Student-centred learning: the keystone of construction education?. Presented at CIB W89 International Conference on Building Education and Research (BEAR), The Lowry, University of Salford

A great deal of research has been carried out investigating those criteria that contribute towards effective learning. A review of this literature carried out by De la Harpe (1999) may be represented by the ‘Learning Wheel’ illustrated below. It is s...
